From May 3 to 8, the Buenos Aires Pan American Senior Olympic Wrestling Championship is being held at the National Center for High Performance Sports (Cenard) with qualification to Santiago 2023 on the line.
The top four countries in each weight class that have not already qualified will earn a spot in the Pan American Games this October, bringing many Olympic, world and Pan American champions to Argentina to participate in the continental wrestling tournament.
The competition will be full of excitement for fans with qualification to Santiago 2023 and the 2023 World Championship both up for grabs. The World Wrestling Championship will take place in Belgrade, Serbia from September 16 to 24.
In total, 300 athletes from 24 countries are competing with the goal of earning one of the 72 qualification places for Santiago 2023.
“We are very happy. In the Cenard you will experience a true celebration of Olympic sport. We have 300 athletes here from the Americas who are pursuing the dream of qualifying to compete in the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games. I wish all of them the best of success,” said Argentine Olympic Committee President and Panam Sports Vice President, Mario Moccia, during the opening ceremony.
