2024 Olympic Wrestling Rankings

97 kg - Akhmed Tazhudinov

Two-time Olympic Champion and five-time world champion Abdulrashid Sadulaev didn't receive approval to compete at the Olympics and has been removed from the rankings. 

Alisher Yergali won the Budapest Ranking Series Tournament and likely earned the Olympic spot over fellow country man and 2023 92kg world champion Rizabek Aitmukhan. Yergali comes in at the #6 spot based on his recent win over Ibrahim Ciftci.
