Freestyle wrestling was an event contested at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
Wrestling competition is a match of strength, suppleness and raw power.
Team England secured three bronze medals, won by Georgina Nelthorpe, Syerus Eslami and Charlie Bowling and placed third on the medal table.
The sport will return once again to the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in 2022.
Wrestling is a straight knockout competition with repechage events for those athletes who lose to the eventual finalists
All wrestlers who lose against both finalists will have repechage matches split into two groups: one of wrestlers who lost against the first finalist, and another of wrestlers who lost against the second finalist
The repechage matches begin with wrestlers who lost in the first round (including in matches to obtain the ideal number) against one of the two finalists (up to the losers in the semi-finals) by direct elimination. The winners of the two repechage groups will each receive the bronze medal
Each match has two periods of three minutes with a 30 second break and a fall automatically stops the match in any period
The winner is declared by the addition of the points scored in both periods and in Freestyle, technical superiority of ten points automatically leads to victory
