Tournament results
The competition used a form of negative points tournament, with negative points given for any result short of a fall. Accumulation of 6 negative points eliminated the wrestler. When only two or three wrestlers remain, a special final round is used to determine the order of the medals. Veteran Wilfried Dietrich produced a spectacular win by throwing Chris Taylor over his back. Taylor then weighed ca. 187 kg and Dietrich ca. 118 kg.[2]
