Wrestling has appeared in every Olympics apart from the 1900 Games. Two styles have been included - Freestyle and Graeco-Roman - although an Icelandic form of Wrestling, known as Glima, was also included as a demonstration event in 1912. Graeco-Roman differs from Freestyle in that the use of the legs is limited, holds may not be made below the hips and the aggressor must accompany his opponent to the mat for a throw to be legal. From 1936-80 scores given represent penalty points incurred in final elimination round (where required to decide medallists). From 1904-20 and 1984 onwards the result of the final match is detailed (Note: Dec = Decision, Dsq = Disqualification, Ret = Retirement, WO = Walkover). The number of weight categories was reduced from 10 to 8 in 2000 and to 7 in 2004. Women's events were first included in the Olympic programme in 2004.
