Olympic fans who want to catch the top nations go head-to-head on the mat should purchase their Summer Games Tickets early to witness all the historic moments live.

Venue, Rules, and Competition Styles

The entire Olympic Wrestling tournament will take place inside Hall 2 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in the heart of Downtown LA.

• Venue: LA Convention Center, Hall 2
• Address: 1201 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015
• Time Structure: Each match is played in two 3-minute periods with a 30-second break in between.
• Divisions: Men’s Freestyle, Men’s Greco-Roman, and Women’s Freestyle.
• Winning Conditions: A wrestler clinches an instant victory by pinning the opponent's shoulder blades to the mat (a fall). Otherwise, the win goes to the fighter with the most technical points from throws, takedowns, and turns when time expires.

The main difference between the two styles comes down to legal contact zones. In freestyle Wrestling, athletes can attack or defend with their legs, so there are low sweeps, leg tackles, and full-body lifts. By contrast, Greco-Roman forbids any contact below the waist, so wrestlers have to make do with chest-to-chest throws, upper-body holds, and overhead suplexes.
