Athletes competed in 22 events across 11 weight categories (7 for men and 4 for women). Three Women's (48 kg, 75 kg and +75 kg) and the Men's +105 kg category will not be held because too few nations applied.
Nikolaos Kourtidis who won 2 gold medal in the men's 94 kg, and Konstantina Lapou who took silver in the women's 58-kg, tested positive after the competition.[1]
For Nurcan Taylan who won 2 gold medals in the women's 53 kg the IWF invalidated all results between middle of 2008 to 2016.[2]
