Frequently asked questions

What are the Olympic wrestling weight classes?

Men's freestyle: 57, 65, 74, 86, 97 and 125 kg. Women's freestyle: 50, 53, 57, 62, 68 and 76 kg. Greco-Roman (men only at the Olympics) uses: 60, 67, 77, 87, 97 and 130 kg. World Championships feature additional non-Olympic classes.

Is cutting weight for wrestling safe?

Extreme rapid weight-cutting through dehydration carries real health risks and has caused fatalities historically. Modern guidance strongly favours competing near your natural weight, gradual fat loss rather than dehydration, and many federations now schedule weigh-ins close to competition specifically to discourage dangerous extreme cuts. Always involve a qualified coach and, ideally, a sports dietitian.
