Rankings Explanation With these rankings I took the top 6 at the Olympics and then went from there. Obviously Russia has wrestlers who did not go to the Olympics who are potentially better than some of the Top 6 placewinners, but I could not give them rank over guys who had actually qualified & competed at the Olympics and just missed out on a medal. Also, because there are two Bronze medalists I took head to head match ups into consideration or who ever had a better finish in recent tournaments like last year's Worlds or the last few years overall.
