Wrestling At The 1912 Summer Olympics – Men's Greco-Roman Lightweight
The Greco-Roman lightweight competition at the 1912 Summer Olympics was part of the Wrestling at the 1912 Summer Olympics, wrestling programme. The competition used a form of double-elimination tournament. Rather than using the brackets that are now standard for double-elimination contests (and which assure that each match is between two competitors with the same number of losses), each wrestler drew a number. Each man would face off against the wrestler with the next number, provided he had not already faced that wrestler and that the wrestler was not from the same nation as him (unless this was necessary to avoid byes). When only three wrestlers remain (the medalists), the double-elimination halts and a special final round is used to determine the order of the medals. Results First round 48 wrestlers began the competition. Second round Arthur Gould (wrestler), Arthur Gould and Árpád Szántó withdrew after their first round losses. 46 wrestlers started the second r ...

Armas Laitinen
The Arma people are an ethnic group of the middle Niger River valley, descended from Moroccan invaders of the 16th century . The name, applied by other groups, derives from the word ''ar-rumah'' ( ar, الرماة) "fusiliers". N.
