On July 12, the United World Wrestling Federation (UWW) published a list of seeded wrestlers in the Olympic Games in freestyle wrestling on its official page. This list was created based on the results of all wrestlers over a certain time.
The top eight wrestlers in each weight class will be seeded, while the remaining eight competitors will be determined by a random draw. Important competitions such as the 2023 World Championships and 2024 Continental Championships played a key role in determining the seeding of wrestlers. This system is used to prevent strong athletes from facing each other in the early stages of the tournament.
List of seeded Olympic wrestlers.
System of seeded wrestlers: (Quarterfinals)
- Upper side of the grid: No. 1 vs. No. 8; No. 4 vs. No. 5
- Bottom side of the grid: No. 2 vs. No. 7; No. 3 vs. No. 6
Based on the system, you can easily determine the tournament grid that we will see at the Olympic Games in freestyle wrestling, which was created with the help of artificial intelligence.
