When the wrestler's shoelaces are visible, how should they be secured?

A double-knotting of the shoelaces is important in wrestling to ensure that the laces remain secure and do not come undone during a match or practice. This prevents any potential accidents or injuries that can arise from a wrestler tripping over loose shoelaces or being distracted by their footwear coming untied. Utilizing a double knot provides extra security compared to a single knot, which can come undone easily with movement or exertion, common in the physical nature of wrestling.

While other options may seem like viable alternatives, they do not provide the same level of security. A single knot is not reliable enough due to the potential for it to loosen. Not securing the laces at all could lead to dangerous situations during a match. Wrapping laces with tape might work in some scenarios but could be less effective and may introduce restrictions or safety concerns if not done correctly. Thus, double-knotting is the best practice for maintaining a safe and secure wrestling environment.
