At the XXXI. At the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro , 18 wrestling competitions were held, six for women and twelve for men. The venue was the Arena Carioca 2 in the Olympic Park Rio de Janeiro , which is located in the southwestern district of Barra da Tijuca . The six competitions for women were held in freestyle , while the men held six competitions each in freestyle and Greco-Roman style . Compared to the competition program in London 2012 , one competition was omitted for men, while women were awarded two additional competitions. This also led to changes in the division of weight classes.
