YOG Wrestling





The upcoming Youth Olympic Games WILL HAVE wrestling! yes, yup, wrestling indeed (: they are classified in three different styles: Greco-Roman wrestling, freestyle wrestling and beach wrestling.

However, prior to the YOG, there is also qualifying rounds for these events.

To qualify for the wrestling tournaments at the YOG, athletes must place high enough at their respective qualifying tournament. Each qualifying tournament is allotted a specific number of qualifiers for the YOG. There are a total of five continental qualifying tournaments for the YOG wrestling tournaments. Hence, i bet these qualifying is confirm tough for the athletes ):

At the YOG main wrestling tournaments, there are five weight classes for each of men category wrestling style and four weight classes for women's wrestling style.

So how do you feel about this post is relevant to your information. oh ya, i will be volunteering for the YOG events at ICC, hence, i will definitely be able to catch these wrestling event live(except beach wrestling)! OH gosh, I just cant wait for it! (:
