Where to find past world/olympic results?

[BruceyB]

Uww.org looks like it only has data back to 2014. I'm trying to put together a little research, but it's hard finding the results in an easy way.

Here is a link to the old UWW database that still gets updated.

That's great!   This is  much better than the new database.

I love going through to find the results of guys I wrestled or trained with.

The flags use the UWW recognized three digit country code in the filename so you can just scrape from the scrape.

ETA: That's a universal "you" not a WKN-exclusive "you." I for one have zero interest in the lift that would be necessary to crawl through that library and massage the table. Kudos to the hero who volunteers as tribute.

Just be careful about trailing spaces or punctuation on names.
It's a bit finicky.

Also, the programmer of that database is German and he translates things into German, so you have different spellings of the same athlete in numerous cases and extra letters added to names as well (like the Turks).

You can also match with partial names to thwart the spelling issue.

'snyd' will get you three athletes.

Some athletes have 4 names, mostly latin america, and you're have to try them all to find them.

It’s why I built my own for world and continental events.
