ABSTRACT
The videos of all wrestling matches from the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio were analyzed for scoring and technique. Summaries were compiled for all three styles—Men’s Freestyle, Women’s Freestyle, and Greco-Roman. The performance of the top countries and the champions are presented. Attack efficacy, represented by points scored per minute, is presented for the style as a whole for the top countries and for the weight-class champions. The technical structure of the champions, with scoring by type of technique, is also presented. This was done for all three styles—Men’s Freestyle, Women’s Freestyle, and Greco-Roman. Trends observed during the Olympic cycle between London 2012 and Rio 2016 are discussed.
