Abraham Lincoln was especially skilled in what sport?

Trivia: Abraham Lincoln was especially skilled in what sport?

Tennis
Wrestling
Baseball
Horse Racing

The correct answer is Wrestling

So why is this answer correct? : Young Abraham Lincoln was known for his skills in “catch-as-catch-can” wrestling — a style more like hand-to-hand combat than the kind of wrestling we see today. Legend has it that he was defeated only once in some 300 matches, a triumph that led to him receiving the Outstanding American award from the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 1992. Like much of Lincoln’s early biography, however, tales of his wrestling prowess are a mixture of truth and myth, and his talent may have been somewhat exaggerated by history.
