Olympic wrestling today is only competed for sport and for a gold medal. Unlike Ancient Olympic games the wrestlers do not wrestle to the death. There are many Olympic wrestlers in The U.S.A that have won a medal in wrestling. The Olympics only allow one athlete from each country in each weight division to compete. Do to this there is much competition to be that one man to represent your country.
