UWW Releases Entry List for 2024 World OG Qualifier

Next week, the final pieces of the Olympic puzzle will fall into place as the final three slots at each weight class will be filled at the World OG Qualifier otherwise known as the “Last Chance Qualifier.” Wrestlers/Countries that have not secured a place in an Olympic weight class can send a representative to Istanbul, Turkey with hopes of placing in the top-three. Unlike your typical international tournament, there will be a wrestle-off between bronze medal winners to determine that all-important third quota at the Olympic Games. 

As you probably know, the United States needs to qualify five weights for the Olympic Games. 57 and 65 kg for men’s freestyle and 60, 67, and 77 kg for Greco-Roman. All six women’s weights have been qualified. 

Yesterday, United World Wrestling released an entry list at each weight class for the event. Below, are entries for the five weights that the American fans are following most closely. They’ve been sorted via continental qualifier.
