The men’s Greco-Roman was the only wrestling event on the Wrestling at the 1896 Summer Olympics programme.No weight classes existed for the wrestling competition held in the Panathinaiko Stadium which meant that there would only be one winner among competitors of all sizes. The rules used were similar to modern Greco-Roman wrestling although there was no time limit and not all leg holds were forbidden (in contrast to current rules).
