 About the Game


On mat 9m in diameter, two wrestlers attempts to pin their opponent's shoulders to the mat, to gain a fall. Wrestling events are of two types: Free style and Greco-Roman style.
In Free style, wrestlers can use the entire body; in Greco-Roman style, wrestlers can use only upper part of their body (above the waist).

The duration of a match is 5 minutes. If a competitor takes a "fall," or if the point difference between the competitors exceeds 10 (called a "technical fall"), the fight is over. If the score is even, or if neither competitor has scored 3 points when time is up, competitors are given an additional 3 minutes.

Wrestlers are classified into 10 weight categories: 48kg, 55kg, 60kg, 63kg, 66kg, 72kg, 74kg, 84kg, 96kg, 120kg class.

The 18 medal events are:
Greco-Roman style - 55kg, 60kg, 66kg, 74kg, 84kg, 96kg, 120kg - All Men
Free Style - 48kg - Women, 55kg - Men and Women, 60kg - Men, 63kg - Women, 66kg - Men, 72kg - Women, 74kg - Men, 84kg - Men, 96kg - Men, 120kg - Men
