Australian Team Profile
Australia will be represented by a female wrestler at the Olympic Games for the first time in Beijing.
Kyla Bremner originally hails from Canada but will proudly make Australian history at the Games.
"I'm so excited to be going to Beijing," Bremner said.
"It's such an unbelievable honour to be the first female wrestler to represent Australia. I'm so pleased that women's wrestling has become an Olympic sport in time for me to have a chance to go."
Joining Bremner in Beijing will be three men eager to swell the nation's medal stocks that haven't been added to since the London Games of 1948.
Sandeep Kumar, Hassan Shahsavan and Ali Abdo have also made the team for Beijing.
Abdo was Australia's sole wrestler in Athens and will compete in his third Olympics.
Both wrestling disciplines, Greco-Roman and freestyle, will be fought out on the mats at the China Agriculture University Gymnasium.
Three Australians have won medals in freestyle events at the Olympics.
In Los Angeles in 1932, Eddie Scarf was third in the light-heavyweight division.
Twelve years later in London, Dick Garrard won a silver medal as a welterweight and Jim Armstrong won a bronze medal in the heavyweight division.
Some form of wrestling has featured at every modern Olympic Games, except for Paris in 1900.
Women competed in wrestling for the first time at the 2004 Athens Olympics.
