To compete as a wrestler in the Tokyo Olympic Games, it is not enough just to “make the team”. In men’s freestyle, only 16 spots are allocated per weight class, meaning there is a qualification process that narrows down the field. The first qualification event was the 2019 World Championships in Kazakhstan - the top five place-winners at
Olympic weights automatically qualified their weight class for Tokyo, for their nation. That means if Nation A sent wrestler X to Worlds at 57 kg, and they placed fifth or better, Nation A can send anyone they want to the Olympics at 57 kg.
