Wrestling At The 1912 Summer Olympics – Men's Greco-Roman Middleweight
The Greco-Roman middleweight competition at the 1912 Summer Olympics was part of the wrestling programme. The event was held from July 6, 1912, to July 15, 1912. The official name was ''Middleweight A'' (maximum weight of 75 kilogram/165 lbs). A maximum of 12 wrestlers from the same nation were allowed to start. 38 wrestlers from 14 nations competed.

The drawing and weighing was held on Sunday, July 6 from 2p.m. to 3.30p.m. at the Stadium. 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) ...
