Wrestling at the Summer Olympics

October 24, 2023

Wrestling at the Olympic Games first appeared at the first modern Olympics, in the form of Greco-Roman wrestling, held in Athens in 1896. Wrestling would appear at every Summer Olympics held since then, with the exception of the 1900 Summer Olympics when wrestling did not appear on the program. Freestyle wrestling and weight classes both made their first appearance at the 1904 Summer Olympics. Women's freestyle wrestling competition was first held at the 2004 Summer Olympics.

In 2013, the IOC voted to drop wrestling from the Summer Olympic program. The president of the sport's governing body, FILA (now United World Wrestling), resigned after a subsequent motion of no confidence, and several of the FILA leadership followed suit. Following these and revisions to the program for 2016 (including rule changes and additional women's competitions), wrestling successfully campaigned to be readmitted back onto the Summer Olympic program.

Removal and reinstatement Edit

In an effort to control the size and costs of the Summer Olympics, and make the Games "relevant to sports fans of all generations", the IOC evaluated the Olympic event programme in place for the 2016 Summer Olympics, and voted on 25 "core" sports that would comprise the programme of the 2020 Summer Olympics (which was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic).[1] One vacancy was to be left open for a new sport. In February 2013, IOC members voted to remove wrestling from the Olympic programme; The New York Times cited several potential factors in the decision, including the lack of universally-known talent unlike other sports, and concern for the lack of women's competitions in wrestling (having only introduced women's freestyle competitions in 2004). FILA (now United World Wrestling), the governing body of Olympic wrestling, immediately criticized the decision. The organization cited wrestling's long-standing history as an Olympic event, which dates as far back as the ancient Olympic Games.[2][3][4]

The decision resulted in immediate backlash; Armen Nazaryan and Sagid Murtazaliev both returned gold medals to the IOC in protest, while Nazaryan also staged a hunger strike until the 2013 European Wrestling Championships.[5] FILA president Raphaël Martinetti resigned after a vote of non-confidence by the organization's staff.[6]

Martinetti was replaced as acting president by Nenad Lalović. Under his leadership, the organization began to make changes to its Olympic programme for 2016, including rule changes designed to make bouts faster and encourage more aggression, as well as additional women's weight classes. These changes were intended to help improve audience interest, and address the shortcomings that likely led to the removal of the sport; wrestling joined baseball/softball, as well as squash, on a final shortlist of three sports to be included in the core Olympic programme for 2020.[2] On 8 September 2013, at the 125th IOC Session, the IOC selected wrestling to be reinstated in the Olympic program for 2020 and 2024.[7][8] Lalović was largely credited for his role in the reinstatement; he remarked that "normally this is done in a few years, we did it in a few months. It was a question of our survival."[9][10]

to control the size and costs of the Summer Olympics and make the Games relevant to sports fans of all generations the IOC evaluated the Olympic event programme in place for the 2016 Summer Olympics and voted on 25 core sports that would comprise the programme of the 2020 Summer Olympics which was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID 19 pandemic 1 One vacancy was to be left open for a new sport In February 2013 IOC members voted to remove wrestling from the Olympic programme The New York Times cited several potential factors in the decision including the lack of universally known talent unlike other sports and concern for the lack of women s competitions in wrestling having only introduced women s freestyle competitions in 2004 FILA now United World Wrestling the governing body of Olympic wrestling immediately criticized the decision The organization cited wrestling s long standing history as an Olympic event which dates as far back as the ancient Olympic Games 2 3 4 The decision resulted in immediate backlash Armen Nazaryan and Sagid Murtazaliev both returned gold medals to the IOC in protest while Nazaryan also staged a hunger strike until the 2013 European Wrestling Championships 5 FILA president Raphael Martinetti resigned after a vote of non confidence by the organization s staff 6 Martinetti was replaced as acting president by Nenad Lalovic Under his leadership the organization began to make changes to its Olympic programme for 2016 including rule changes designed to make bouts faster and encourage more aggression as well as additional women s weight classes These changes were intended to help improve audience interest and address the shortcomings that likely led to the removal of the sport wrestling joined baseball softball as well as squash on a final shortlist of three sports to be included in the core Olympic programme for 2020 2 On 8 September 2013 at the 125th IOC Session the IOC selected wrestling to be reinstated in the Olympic program for 2020 and 2024 7 8 Lalovic was largely credited for his role in the reinstatement he remarked that normally this is done in a few years we did it in a few months It was a question of our survival 9 10 Events EditMen Edit Event 96 00 04 08 12 20 24 28 32 36 48 52 56 60 64 68 72 76 80 84 88 92 96 00 04 08 12 16 20 24 YearsGreco Roman light flyweight X X X X X X X 7Greco Roman
