Olympic Wrestling Rules - Working for Scale

Wrestling is one of the original sports of both the ancient and modern Olympics, wrestling features two unarmed men or women grappling to either subdue the other with a pin (or "fall") or accrue enough points to win. Wrestling is one of the events that have been included in the schedule of the modern Summer Games since 1896 except the 1900 Games and has made a permanent place in the Olympics program. At the Olympic Games, men compete in two disciplines, Greco-Roman and freestyle, while the women's events are in freestyle only.

Working for Scale

The drama starts long before wrestlers hit the mat. Given the importance of strength-to-weight ratio, most wrestlers attempt to compete in the lightest category that they possibly can. That sometimes means a frantic race to sweat off the final pound or two to "make weight" or qualify. The weigh-in for each weight class happens the night before that class begins wrestling. Wrestlers have 30 minutes to register the allowable maximum on the scale. They can step on the scale as many times as they want. When wrestlers make weight, they draw a number representing their first opponent.
