1904 Olympics - men competing in the high bar. This may be practice as the photo is dated in pencil July 26,1904 and there were no events on this day. There were gymnastics events two weeks later (Bohemian Gymnastics) and also as part of track and field at the end of August. Not all of the events in St Louis in 1904 were Olympic events. There were high school, AAU and other events which were all part of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition aka 1904 Worlds Fair.

That is the 1972 US Weightlifting team, not Wrestling. Several notable lifters pictured.
