Korey Jarvis (born October 4, 1986)[3] is a Canadian wrestler who won a gold medal in the 125 kg freestyle at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.[4] He has competed and won the Canadian National Championships for three consecutive years in both freestyle and Greco-Roman styles, the only wrestler to do so. In July 2016, he was officially named to Canada's 2016 Olympic team.[5][6]
Jarvis studied at the Conestoga College, and has a daughter Brynlee. He took up wrestling aged 14. Between 2010 and 2014 he moved from the 96 kg to 125 kg class to avoid cutting weight before competitions, as he normally was heavier than 100 kg.[2]
