Misc. Wrestling Trivia

I was just reading an article about wrestling and came across some interesting trivia.  For those wrestlers that have gone to camps this year one name will stand out.

World Championship Wrestling
Greaco-Roman world championships first held in 1921.  First freestyle championships in 1951; each style contests 10 weight divisions, the heaviest being the 130 kg (286 lbs) category.  Olympic champions become wold champions in Olympic years.

Recent winners: freestyle - super-heavyweight/over 100 kg (220 lbs)
1984 Bruce Baumgartner (USA)
1986 Bruce Baumgartner (USA)
1992 Bruce Baumgartner (USA)
