Wednesday, September 27, 2023 - 19:20 By United World Wrestling Press
PARIS, France -- The World Championships offered 90 quotas for the Paris Olympics with Freestyle, Women's Wrestling and Greco-Roman receiving 30 spots each.
After nine days of intense action, 30 wrestlers qualified their National Olympic Committees in Greco-Roman for the 2024 Olympic Games in six weight classes.
The qualification is a three-stage process beginning with the World Championships in Belgrade, Serbia. The World Championships offers five quotas for each of the 18 Olympic categories. Wrestlers who earn gold, silver or bronze will earn a spot for their countries. Additionally, the losers of the bronze-medal matches will wrestle in a playoff to determine the fifth allocation in Belgrade.
The second step was the continental qualifiers which included the Pan-Am, African & Oceania, European and the Asian OG Qualifier. Each qualifier offered 12 spots for the Paris Olympics in each style.
The final step was the World OG Qualifier which offered 18 Paris Olympic quotas in each style. Each Olympic weight class offered three quotas -- gold and silver medalists plus the winner of the playoff between the bronze medal winners.
