Corsier-Sur-Vevey, SWITZERLAND – The 112 wrestlers set to compete at the Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China have been announced by FILA, the international governing body for wrestling.

Wrestlers from 47 nations will attend the Games and compete in 14 weight classifications across men’s freestyle, female wrestling and Greco-Roman. The wrestlers went through a qualification process that included all of the FILA’s 177 national federations.

The summer YOG features 28 sports on the summer programme of the Olympic Games. More than 3,500 athletes between 15-18 years old will compete over a 12-day period, with wrestling accepting competitors age 16 and 17. The first YOG was held four years ago in Singapore and included 205 national Olympic Committees. The next YOG summer games are slated for Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2018.

Wrestling will be held August 25-27 at the Longjiang Gymnasium.
