2024 International Wrestling Rankings

65 kg - Kotaro Kiyooka

Olympic champion Kotaro Kiyooka moves up to #1 after winning gold while recording wins over Rahman Amouzad, Tulga Tumur-Ochir, and Sebastian Rivera. Amouzad stays in the #2 spot for his silver medal performance and wins over Islam Dudaev, Ismail Musukaev, and Zain Retherford.

Sebastian Rivera moves into the rankings at #6 for his bronze medal performance and victory over Tulga Tumur-Ochir. While his performance in Paris was incredible, his losses on the year to Vazgen Tevanyan and Joey McKenna keep him from moving into the top 5.

The other bronze medalist, Islam Dudaev, jumps to #3 for his victory over Ismail Musukaev. Dudaev put together a fantastic career where he also defeated world champion Gadzhimurad Rashidov at the 2024 European Championships.
