The wrestling competitions at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris were held from 5 to 11 August at Grand Palais Éphémère in Champ de Mars.[1] 288 wrestlers competed across 18 weight categories at these Games. The men wrestled against each other in both freestyle and Greco-Roman events, whereas the women only participated in the freestyle wrestling, with 18 gold medals awarded.[2][3] Wrestling has been contested at every modern Summer Olympic Games, except Paris 1900.
Mijaín López became the first and only athlete in modern Olympics history to win five consecutive gold medals in the same individual event after winning in the Greco-Roman wrestling 130 kg.[4]
