Spencer Lee and Zain Retherford won the 2024 Olympic Trials tournament. However, Team USA still has yet to qualify 57 kg and 65 kg for the Paris Olympic Games. So, Lee and Retherford will travel to Istanbul, Turkiye to compete in the Last Chance Olympic Qualifier on May 11th and 12th. If they fail to place top-three, then they will not compete at the Olympic Games. It will be streamed live on FloWrestling.

A repechage system will be used with no gold medal match as the semifinal winners will have qualified, and the two bronze medal winners will face off for the final qualifying spot. The top four athletes at each weight will be seeded according to UWW's ranking series points with the remaining athletes being drawn into the bracket randomly. Retherford will not get credit for the ranking series points he earned at 70 kg, so both US athletes will get drawn in randomly. You can find UWW's rankings HERE.

The #s below are from Jon Kozak's international rankings, not UWW's rankings.
