This article details the qualifying phase for wrestling at the 2016 Summer Olympics. The competition at these Games comprised a total of 344 athletes coming from the different nations; each had been allowed to enter a maximum of 18 (1 per event).[1]

Four places had been reserved for the host nation Brazil, and four more for the Tripartite Commission to invite wrestlers.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ a b Russia's Viktor Lebedev originally earned a quota place at the 2015 World Championships, but because of new regulations set by the IOC, he was not allowed to participate due to a positive doping test at the 2006 Junior World Championships. His spot has been replaced by Belarus, the nation of the next best-ranked wrestler from the 2015 World Championships.[3] Later that decision was reverted by CAS.
  2. ^ a b c d Poland's Magomedmurad Gadzhiev and Ukraine's Andriy Kviatkovskyi initially secured quota places for their respective countries in men's freestyle 65 kg at the European Qualification Tournament, but have had their results nullified and associate Olympic licenses revoked due to doping violations for meldonium. As a result, the Olympic licenses were redistributed to Georgia and Armenia.[4] but on 9 July 2016, United World Wrestling, following new meldonium guidelines has announced the reinstatement of NOC qualification spots for Gadzhiev and Kviatkovskyi.[5]
  3. ^ a b Georgia (Zurabi Iakobishvili) initially secured a quota place in men's freestyle 65 kg at the first World Olympic Qualifier. Following the adjustment of Olympic qualifying nations as a response to doping violations, the nation's license was transferred to Bulgaria. Moreover, the unused license won by Bulgaria at the final World Olympic Qualifier was awarded to the United States.[4][6]
  4. ^ Egypt (Aly Hamdy) originally earned a quota place in men's freestyle 97 kg at the African & Oceania Qualification Tournament, but have had its results nullified and associate Olympic license revoked for failing the doping test. The Olympic license was transferred to Guinea-Bissau.[4]
  5. ^ a b c Belarus' Yusup Jalilau and Ukraine's Alen Zaseyev initially secured quota places for their respective countries in the men's freestyle 125 kg at the European Qualification Tournament, but have had their results nullified and associate Olympic licenses revoked due to doping violations for meldonium. As a result, the Olympic licenses were redistributed to Bulgaria and Hungary.[4] Moreover, the unused license won by Hungary at the first World Olympic Qualifier was awarded to Kyrgyzstan.
  6. ^ Australian Vinod Kumar Dahiya originally earned a quota place in men's Greco-Roman 66 kg at the African & Oceania Qualification Tournament, but tested positive for doping, giving his nation's Olympic license to New Zealand.[7]
  7. ^ a b c A late injury prevented Brenda Bailey, Craig Miller and Vũ Thị Hằng to participate at the games, the quotas remained unused.[8]
  8. ^ a b Kyrgyzstan's Janarbek Kenjeev originally earned a quota place in men's Greco-Roman 85 kg at the Asian Qualification Tournament, but tested positive for doping, giving his nation's Olympic license to India.[4] but on 9 July 2016, United World Wrestling, following new meldonium guidelines has announced the reinstatement of NOC qualification spot for Kenjeev.[5]
  9. ^ a b Mongolia's Erdenechimegiin Sumiyaa originally earned a quota place in women's freestyle 53 kg at the Asian Qualification Tournament, but tested positive for doping, giving her nation's Olympic license to India.[4] but on 9 July 2016, United World Wrestling, following new meldonium guidelines has announced the reinstatement of NOC qualification spot for Sumiyaa.[5]
  10. ^ a b Ukraine's Oksana Herhel originally earned a quota place in women's freestyle 58 kg at the European Qualification Tournament, but tested positive for doping, giving her nation's Olympic license to Moldova.[4] but on 9 July 2016, United World Wrestling, following new meldonium guidelines has announced the reinstatement of NOC qualification spot for Herhel.[5]
