Notes
- ↑ According to Sports-Reference.com , 42 athletes participated. The site provides a complete list of athletes and a grid of competition results in all weight categories. However, there is another erroneous common version by the number of participants. In the Great Olympic Encyclopedia , the article “Wrestling” gives the number 38, while in the article “Olympic Games 3 Olympiads” the distribution of athletes by weight categories differs significantly from the data of Sports-Reference.com and does not give detailed competition results.
