From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The men's Greco-Roman welterweight competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles took place from 4 August to 7 August at the Grand Olympic Auditorium. Nations were limited to one competitor.[1][2] It was the first appearance of the event; at the previous two Olympics, the welterweight class had been exclusive to freestyle wrestling. This weight class was limited to wrestlers weighing up to 72 kg.[3]

This Greco-Roman wrestling competition followed the same format that was introduced at the 1928 Summer Olympics, using an elimination system based on the accumulation of points. Each round featured all wrestlers pairing off and wrestling one bout (with one wrestler having a bye if there were an odd number). The loser received 3 points. The winner received 1 point if the win was by decision and 0 points if the win was by fall. At the end of each round, any wrestler with at least 5 points was eliminated.[4]
