PANKRATION'S PATH TO THE MODERN OLYMPIC GAMES
World Pankration Athlima Federation Is Now Part Of FILA!
Our next step back to the Olympics!!

Pankration has been accepted by the International Olympic Committee's Governing Body for Wrestling and in the future Pankration will compete as a part of that organization. The United States Federation of Pankration Athlima, 1935 Plum Grove Road #321 Palatine IL 60067, is the sole Governing Body in America for WPAF.

To fully understand the impact of this you must realize that Olympic Sports have what is called Disciplines.

For example, most people think swimming an Olympic Sport, when actually AQUATICS is the "Olympic Sport". Swimming is a "Discipline" of AQUATICS. So is Kayaking ,Wind Surfing, Diving, Racing, etc.

The most well known Disciplines of Wrestling Are Greco/Roman and Freestyle Wrestling.

Pankration's path to the Olympic Games is as a part of the Wrestling Federation. FILA is now Pankration's International Governing Body and Officially Represents us in all Olympic matters.

The WPAF has changed it's name. It will now be known as the World Pankration Athlima Committee.

Pankration's 1st Official competition in the Olympic Sports Program will be in the World Wrestling Championships in Turkey in September 2007. Team USA also has major International event in Portugal November 2007.

Our competition program is open to all US athletes. The USA Pankration Athlima Federation (the National Governing Body of Pankration in the United States) welcomes the participation of all styles and systems in our competition and team selection process.
