Contents

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.

Amit Elor of the United States of America won the gold medal after beating Zhamila Bakbergenova from Kazakhstan 10–0 after only one minute and twelve seconds.

Alexandra Anghel from Romania and Masako Furuichi of Japan shared the bronze medals. Anghel beat Oknazarova from Uzbekistan convincingly while Furuichi edged Buse Tosun of Turkey 3–2.
