| Table of Contents |
Women's wrestling was added to the Olympic program in 2004, with just four weight divisions, although there are six international recognized weight classes. Women compete only in freestyle wrestling, not Greco-Roman.
In 2004, 16 wrestlers qualified in each weight division. They were randomly divided into four pools, with round-robin competition determining the winner of each pool. The pool winners then advanced to the semi-finals.
