Myles Nazem Amine (born December 14, 1996) is a Sammarinese-American freestyle and folkstyle wrestler who competes at 86 kilograms. He represents San Marino due to his maternal great-grandfather being a citizen.[1] In freestyle, Amine won bronze for San Marino at the 2020 Summer Olympics and claimed medals at the European Games and the European Championships.[2][3][4]

In folkstyle, Amine is a five-time NCAA Division I All-American and two-time Big Ten Conference Champion (four-time finalist) for the Michigan Wolverines.[5] Amine was the top-seeded 197-pound NCAA wrestler heading into the 2021 national championships, but finished third.[6] His paternal grandfather Nazem Amine was also a freestyle wrestler who competed for Lebanon at the 1960 Summer Olympics.[7]

He won the gold medal in the 86 kg event at the 2022 Mediterranean Games held in Oran, Algeria. He competed in the 86 kg event at the 2022 World Wrestling Championships held in Belgrade, Serbia.[8]
