Wrestling
History of Wrestling
Wrestling can be traced as far back as human records go. There is evidence of its early existence in ancient Egyptian wall paintings.
In ancient Greece, 2,000 years later, it was among the most popular events at the original Olympic Games.
The sport has taken many forms over its long history. Different versions have flourished in different areas of the world.
Wrestling at the Games
Greco-Roman Wrestling was an event at the first modern Games in Athens 1896. The organisers hoped it would give a flavour of the ancient Greek Olympic Games, where the sport had been very popular.
Freestyle was introduced by public demand at the St Louis 1904 Games. Women had to wait another 100 years to compete in Wrestling in the Olympic Games, at Athens 2004.
Venue: ExCeL
Dates: Greco-Roman: Sunday 5 – Tuesday 7 August; Freestyle: Wednesday 8 – Sunday 12 August
Gold medals up for grabs: 18
Athletes: 344
