Notes
- ^ a b Russia's Viktor Lebedev originally earned a quota place at the 2015 World Championships, but because of new regulations set by the IOC, he was not allowed to participate due to a positive doping test at the 2006 Junior World Championships. His spot has been replaced by Belarus, the nation of the next best-ranked wrestler from the 2015 World Championships.[3] Later that decision was reverted by CAS.
- ^ a b c d Poland's Magomedmurad Gadzhiev and Ukraine's Andriy Kviatkovskyi initially secured quota places for their respective countries in men's freestyle 65 kg at the European Qualification Tournament, but have had their results nullified and associate Olympic licenses revoked due to doping violations for meldonium. As a result, the Olympic licenses were redistributed to Georgia and Armenia.[4] but on 9 July 2016, United World Wrestling, following new meldonium guidelines has announced the reinstatement of NOC qualification spots for Gadzhiev and Kviatkovskyi.[5]
- ^ a b Georgia (Zurabi Iakobishvili) initially secured a quota place in men's freestyle 65 kg at the first World Olympic Qualifier.
