The move comes as part of the collaboration between UWW and the Olympic Channel, which launched on the day of the Rio 2016 Closing Ceremony on August 21.

Wrestling has had a presence on the Olympic Channel since its launch with its own dedicated sports page and the agreement allows fans of the sport to relive the Rio Olympics action.

"The Olympic Channel gives our fans the content they want to watch," UWW President Nenad Lalovic said.

"Our fans are some of the most passionate in the world. 

"They asked for this access and we are now able to provide it for them."

Russia and Japan were the most successful nations at last year's Games, where the sport's action took place at the Carioca Arena 2 on the Olympic Park in Barra da Tijuca.

The Russian team finished at the top of the medals table with nine, four of which were gold.

Japan also claimed four golds but ended with seven overall.

Japan's Kaori Icho proved to be one of the stars of the Games as she made history by clinching a fourth consecutive Olympic gold medal.

Icho, a 10-time world champion, won the 63 kilograms title at the Athens, Beijing and London Olympics before she secured the 58kg crown in Rio.

There were also several controversial incidents during wrestling events at Rio 2016 as the UWW suspended judges Temo Kazarashvilli of Georgia, Tong-Kun Chung of South Korea and Russia's Sergei Novakoskiy for "suspicious officiating".

It came after Uzbekistan's Ikhtiyor Navruzov's quarter-final with Puerto Rico's Franklin Gomez in the men's 65kg division.

There was then further controversy involving Navruzov when he beat Mongolia's Ganzorigiin Mandakhnaran in a bronze medal bout.

Mongolian coaches Tserenbaatar Tsogbayar and Byambarinchen Bayaraa removed their clothes in protest at the result and claimed the judges had "supported" the Uzbek.

They were both given three-year bans from the sport, while Mongolia's national wrestling federation was fined CHF50,000 (£40,000/$50,000/€47,000).
