🤼 Wrestling at EuroGames Lyon 2025: Tradition, Agility, and Strategy

The Wrestling competitions at EuroGames Lyon 2025 will take place at the Gymnase Maurice Scève on July 24 and 25, 2025, in partnership with Paris Lutte, Paris Wrestling Club, and Lyon Saint-Priest Lutte.

Wrestling, one of the oldest sports, symbolizes control, agility, and strength. In each match, two athletes face off without strikes, aiming to pin their opponent’s shoulders to the mat. If no pin is achieved, the winner is determined based on points earned through techniques such as throws, controls, and forcing the opponent off the mat.

🤼 Discipline

This edition of EuroGames Lyon 2025 will feature only freestyle wrestling.

Freestyle wrestling: Athletes may use leg grabs and holds to execute throws and control their opponents.

👥 Categories

Seniors: Ages 20 and over
Veterans: Ages 35 and over

The competition is open to men, women, and non-binary athletes.

🤼 Match Format

Duration: 2 periods of 3 minutes with a 30-second break
Fewer than 6 participants: Round-robin format (everyone faces everyone)
6–7 participants: Group stage followed by semi-finals and finals
8 or more participants: Single-elimination bracket with repechage for 3rd place

All matches take place on a circular mat and are supervised by a referee. Dangerous or unsportsmanlike behavior is strictly prohibited.
