A maximum of one NOK starter was allowed to start per competition . For this, the NOK had to achieve quota places in various qualifying competitions.

The Swede Ara Abrahamian caused a scandal, who accused the international wrestling federation FILA of not acting fairly out of disappointment over the lost semi-finals. He put the bronze medal he had won on the wrestling mat, because according to his own statements it counted nothing for him, only the gold medal. He then resigned from competitive sports. Later, the IOC publicly dismissed Abrahamian the bronze medal for unsportsmanlike conduct. However, the medal was not reassigned, so there is only one bronze medalist. Abrahamian, who won silver in Athens, lost in the semifinals to the eventual Olympic champion from Italy, Andrea Minguzzi , after a controversial decision. Minguzzi beat Hungary's Zoltán Fodor 6-2 in the final .
