It was a moderately successful campaign for the 15 wrestlers from Turkey who participated in the 1952 Olympics winning 2 golds in their overall total of 3 medals.

[1] This however might look a bit disappointing comparing to their tremendous success in the previous edition at London in 1948 wherein 16 Turkish wrestlers secured 6 gold medals in a total tally of 11 medals.

Amongst the gold medal winners for Turkey in 1952, Hasan Gemici retired only 3 years later in 1955 and became a coach.

The other gold medal winner Bayram Sit however continued the sports and won a silver in 1954 World Championship before narrowly missing out on another medal in the next edition of the Olympics in 1956.

The other medal winner was Adil Atan who won a bronze in light heavyweight freestyle.
