Answer H Rocky - Yes, you must be 17 to compete internationally. In order to participate in the 2012 Olympics, you will have to qualify for your country's team and also qualify via a continental tournament. You can't compete in more than one weight class at a time. If you are 68kg now, you'd have to weigh 91+ kg in 2010 to compete in the super heavyweight division.
