Women's freestyle 62 kilograms competition at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, took place on 9–10 August 2024 at the Grand Palais Éphémère in Champ de Mars.[1]
Background
[edit]This is the sixth appearance of the women's freestyle middleweight category, debut in 2004 as 63kg until 2016, in 2020, 62kg as a current weight limit.
Yukako Kawai was a defending Olympic champion, but she did not qualify, 2020 silver medalist Aisuluu Tynybekova won over Esther Kolawole, then Kayla Miracle and lost to potentially silver medalist Iryna Koliadenko, Tynybekova won a bronze medal by beating Pürevdorjiin Orkhon, Koliadenko lost to Sakura Motoki as a eventual champion, Taybe Yusein did not qualify.
Format
[edit]This freestyle wrestling competition consists of a single-elimination tournament, with a repechage used to determine the winner of two bronze medals. The two finalists face off for gold and silver medals. Each wrestler who loses to one of the two finalists moves into the repechage, culminating in a pair of bronze medal matches featuring the semifinal losers each facing the remaining repechage opponent from their half of the bracket.[2]
Rules
[edit]A typical bout consists of two halves of three minutes each separated by a 30-second break. The two competitors compete on a mat, which is nine meters in diameter. Wrestlers try to score points by executing various legal maneuvers. Points ranging from one to five are awarded by the mat referee depending on the degree of difficulty of the maneuvers. Points are also awarded to the opponent in case of infractions such as illegal holds, passivity etc. A wrestler is automatically disqualified if three cautions are awarded during a bout. Forcing an opponent's shoulders to the mat results in an instant victory by fall.[3]
During the course of a match, if a wrestler builds a 10-point advantage over the opponent, the bout is stopped and the leader is declared as the winner by technical superiority. The total scores are totaled at the end of the stipulated six-minute period, and the wrestler with the maximum points wins. In case of a tie, the wrestler who has scored the last point is declared the winner. A competitor might also be declared a winner if the opponent does not turn up or is medically unfit to compete.[3]
Qualification
[edit]Sixteen quota places were available with each nation restricted to a maximum of one spot. Five quota places were awarded at the 2023 World Wrestling Championships, which took place from the 16th to 24th of September in Belgrade, Serbia. The finalists of each category in the four continental qualification tournaments (Asia, Europe, the Americas, and the joint Africa & Oceania) were awarded quota places. The remainder of the total quota was allocated at the 2024 World Wrestling Olympic Qualification Tournament, offering a minimum of three quota places.[4]
