2024 Olympic Wrestling Rankings

125 kg - Amir Zare

Amir Zare comes in at #1 after winning the 2023 World Championships where he defeated both Taha Akgul and Geno Petriashvili. Though Petriashvili won silver at worlds, Akgul holds the last three head-to-head wins over Petriashvili making him the clear #2. 

Mason Parris won bronze at 2023 Worlds where he lost only to Geno Petriashvili making Parris the clear #4.

Zelimkhan Khizriev didn't wrestle at 2023 Worlds but he recently won the Yarygin in a bracket that included Abdulla Kurbanov who qualified the weight for the Olympics. 

Note that this is only a ranking of countries that have already qualified for the Olympics. There are still 11 more spots at each weight - 2 at the Pan-Am Qualifier (February 28-March 1), the African Qualifier (March 22-24), the European Qualifier (April 5-7), the Asian Qualifier (April 19-21),  and the World Olympic Games Qualifier (May 9-12). Once those qualifications are earned, the rankings will be updated.
