A Complete Lead to Wrestling Weight Classes
Weight classes in wrestling are essential for ensuring fair competition by matching athletes of similar body mass. These classifications minimize mismatches, promoting safety and equality during matches. Different wrestling styles, such as freestyle, Greco-Roman, or collegiate, often have unique weight classes, varying based on organizations like the International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles (FILA) or the NCAA. These classes typically start around 50 kg and can exceed 125 kg, ensuring matches focus on skill and technique over physical advantage.
