Jayden Lawrence in the men’s freestyle 86 kilograms and Justin Holland in the men’s freestyle 65kg category are set for their third and second appearance at the Commonwealth Games, respectively.

Lawrence, who has never medalled at the Games, was knocked out in the round of 16 at Gold Coast 2018 while Holland is returning 12 years after making his debut at New Delhi in 2010, where he lost in the quarter-finals.

Debutants Tom Barns in the men’s freestyle 97kg and Sydney’s Mostafa Rezaeifar in the men’s freestyle 57kg round out the men’s selections.

Naomi de Bruine in the women’s freestyle 76kg and Irene Symeonidis in the women's freestyle 57kg complete the line-up.

Team Australia Chef de Mission Petria Thomas has claimed that the wrestlers could make it to the podium despite the strong field.

"Wrestling will be one of the most physically demanding and tactical sports in Birmingham," Thomas said.

"It always provides a fantastic opportunity for Australians to witness some of the most talented sportspeople from across the Commonwealth in action."

"Our wrestlers will be facing very stiff competition from nations like India, Nigeria and South Africa, but I know they have medal potential."

It has been 12 years since Australia medalled in wrestling at the Commonwealth Games, with Ivan Popov claiming the men’s Greco Roman 120kg gold in New Delhi.  

Emily Bensted bagged the women’s freestyle 55kg silver and Hassan Shahsavan won bronze in the men’s Greco Roman 74kg in the Indian capital.

The Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games is scheduled to be held from July 28 to August 8, with wrestling events set to take place from August 5 to August 6.
