Wrestling at the 1928 Summer Olympics – Men's Greco-Roman light heavyweight
December 15, 2023
The men's Greco-Roman light heavyweight was one of thirteen wrestling events held as part of the wrestling at the 1928 Summer Olympics programme.[1] The competition was held from August 2 to 5, and featured 17 wrestlers from 17 nations.[2]
This Greco-Roman wrestling competition introduced an elimination system based on the accumulation of points. Each round featured all wrestlers pairing off and wrestling one bout (with one wrestler having a bye if there were an odd number). The loser received 3 points. The winner received 1 point if the win was by decision and 0 points if the win was by fall. At the end of each round, any wrestler with at least 5 points was eliminated.[2][3]

Round 1edit
The first round produced 4 winners by fall (0 points), 1 bye (0 points), 4 winners by decision (1 point), and 8 losers (3 points). Westergren withdrew after his bout.
None of the men who started the round with 0 points finished it that sway; Szalay and Moustafa received 1 point after winning by decision, while the other 3 lost. They were the only 2 to have a point total low enough to withstand a loss after this round. Pellinen and Rieger each had 2 points after winning both of their bouts by decision. The other 9 remaining wrestlers each had a loss. Only three men were eliminated with their second loss in round 2.
The third round featured 4 out of 6 bouts where the winner was guaranteed to advance and the loser guaranteed elimination. Vávra needed to win by fall to avoid elimination; he did. The sixth bout was between Szalay (1 point) and Clody (4 points); the former would advance even if he lost while the latter could be eliminated even with a win, it was by decision. That is exactly what happened; Clody's decision eliminated him but left Szalay at 4 points and still in contention. Moustafa had the bye and stayed at 1 point, now in sole possession of the lead.
Pellinen and Appels were eliminated, with the bronze medal and 4th place, respectively. Rieger and Moustafa, both undefeated, advanced to face each other in a de facto gold medal bout.
