Myles Nazem Amine (born December 14, 1996) is a Sammarinese-American freestyle and folkstyle wrestler who competes at 86 kilograms. He represents San Marino due to his maternal great-grandfather being a citizen.[1] In freestyle, Amine won bronze for San Marino at the 2020 Summer Olympics and claimed medals at the European Games and the European Championships.[2][3][4]

In folkstyle, Amine is a four-time NCAA Division I All-American and Big Ten Conference Champion (three-time finalist) for the Michigan Wolverines.[5] Amine was the top-seeded 197-pound NCAA wrestler heading into the 2021 national championships, but finished third.[6] His paternal grandfather Nazem Amine was also a freestyle wrestler who competed for Lebanon at the 1960 Summer Olympics.[7]
