The second portion of the modifications concerns new procedures in Greco-Roman wrestling. Each period will be split into portions of 90 seconds on the feet, and 30 seconds in par terre. This is a change from the 60 seconds on the feet, followed by two 30-second periods in par terre.

If the score is 0-0 after 90 seconds in the first period, the red wrestler is placed in the advantage position in the clinch. If the situation is repeated in the second period with a 0-0 score, the blue wrestler is placed in the advantage position in the clinch.

In the third period, if there is a 0-0 score after 90 seconds, the wrestler who scored the most points in the first two periods will have the choice of position in the clinch, followed by the wrestler with the highest value of points. Only if no wrestler has an advantage in those criteria will there be a draw to determine the clinch position.
