2024 International Wrestling Rankings

74 kg - Zaurbek Sidakov

Zaurbek Sidakov stays ranked at #1 at 74 kg despite not being allowed to wrestle at the Olympics in Paris. Sidakov initially said he was thinking about transitioning to MMA but we're going to keep him in the rankings until he makes an official announcement.

Razambek Zhamalov moves to #2 for his gold medal performance in Paris that was by far the toughest path of any wrestler at the Games. On his way to gold, Zhamalov recorded victories over Kadimagomedov, Salkazanov, Valiev, Rassadin, and Takatani.

The aforementioned Daichi Takatani moves up to #3 for his victory over Kyle Dake. 

After that, there were no other results that impacted the rankings other than Younes Emami's win over Frank Chamizo. For that win, Emami comes into the rankings at #14.

As always, we’d love to hear your feedback - if you have thoughts send them over by email to Jonathan.Kozak@flosports.tv or @KozakJon on Twitter.
