The athletes who were given permission to participate in this summer's Olympic Games have not accepted the "unsportsmanlike selection" by the IOC, the Russian Wrestling Federation said Saturday. 

The 2019 world champion, Georgian Greco-Roman style wrestler Nugzari Tsurtsumia, was found dead in his home in Khobi, Georgia on 3 July.

The International Olympic Committee on 15 June announced the eligible Individual Neutral Athletes (AIN) for the Paris 2024 with 16 wrestlers making the cut for the Games.

Sixteen hours of work a day for a meagre salary in Turkiye, swimming across the Mediterranean... and 10 years after that ordeal, the Olympic Games in Paris. For refugee wrestler Jamal Valizadeh, a dream is about to come true.

Former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) head Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh pleaded not guilty in the sexual harassment case involving female wrestling athletes. The Bharatiya Janata Party MP appeared before Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court today saying he was 'ready to face trial'.

The Wrestling World Qualifiers for Paris 2024, held in Istanbul, Turkiye from 9-12 May, was the last chance for wrestlers to secure their country's presence at the Olympic Games. The two finalists and the best of the third places won the Olympic licence.

No to Istanbul means no to Paris 2024 for the five athletes from the national team who opted out of the tournament. After the suspension of commercial relations by Turkey, the Israeli Security Agency barred its wrestling delegation from competing and shut down their hopes of Olympic participation.

Indian wrestler Bajrang Punia, known for his role in leading athlete protests against the federation chief last year, has been provisionally suspended by the national anti-doping agency (NADA) for reportedly evading a drug test.

The Disciplinary Chamber of the United World Wrestling (UWW) has suspended the Referee Panel and the Referee Delegate for the alleged violations committed during the semi-final bout between Frank Chamizo (Italy) and Turan Bayramov (Azerbaijan) at the 2024 European OG Qualifier in Baku.

Two athletes alongside Bajrang Punia and Sakhshi Malik were protesting against former president of Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who was accused of sexually harassing six female wrestlers. 

After UWW lifted the ban from WFI, the ad-hoc committee organised Olympic trials in March, and Vinesh and Anshu earned their places in the National team, while Bajrang failed to reach the finals.

Tokyo 2020 champion David Taylor (+86kg) had been unbeaten since the 2021 World Championships final, when he lost to Iran's Hassan Yazdani. Taylor had only lost once since the 2017 US World Team Trials, when he lost twice to two-time world champion and Rio 2016 bronze medallist J'Den Cox, and it was the same loss to Yazdani. Since 2017, Taylor has won gold medals at the Olympics and three World Championships, as well as a silver medal at the World Championships.

Six countries have won two spots each for the Paris Olympics in freestyle wrestling on the first day of the Asian Olympic Games Qualifiers in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

United World Wrestling (UWW) has appointed two separate panels to independently and separately analyse the refereeing decisions, including the challenge decisions, of the match between Frank Chamizo (Italy) and Turan Bayramov (Azerbaijan) at the European OG Qualifier in Baku, Azerbaijan.

The 74kg competition at the 2024 European Wrestling Qualifiers in Baku ended in a major scandal when one of the semi-finalists, Italy's Frank Chamizo Marquez, disagreed with the judges' decisions in his deciding bout against Azerbaijan's Turan Bayramov.
