By United World Wrestling Press

NUR-SULTAN, Kazakhstan (Thursday, September 5) – United World Wrestling has received and reviewed the final entry lists for each of the 100 nations attending the 2019 Senior Wrestling World Championships in Nur-Sultan.

For ease of use, the entry lists are attached in excel form, but also made available online via Google Sheets. Online users can filter and arrange the information using the “Data” dropdown, or the Filter icon on the upper right-hand side of the document. This will help any press to easily find athletes by country, style, or weight as well as provide the full and correct spelling of their name.

Please note that some countries have entered two athletes in the official entry list. This is to preserve their spot as training partners in the event hall. The full media guide, released on Monday, will include expected lineups and top seeds.
