Women's freestyle 50 kilograms competition at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, took place on 6–7 August 2024 at the Grand Palais Éphémère in Champ de Mars.[1]

Format

[edit]

This freestyle wrestling competition consists of a single-elimination tournament, with a repechage used to determine the winner of two bronze medals. The two finalists face off for gold and silver medals. Each wrestler who loses to one of the two finalists moves into the repechage, culminating in a pair of bronze medal matches featuring the semifinal losers each facing the remaining repechage opponent from their half of the bracket.[2]

Rules

[edit]

A typical bout consists of two halves of three minutes each separated by a 30-second break. The two competitors compete on a mat, which is nine meters in diameter. Wrestlers try to score points by executing various legal maneuvers. Points ranging from one to five are awarded by the mat referee depending on the degree of difficulty of the maneuvers. Points are also awarded to the opponent in case of infractions such as illegal holds, passivity etc. A wrestler is automatically disqualified if three cautions are awarded during a bout. Forcing an opponent's shoulders to the mat results in an instant victory by fall.[3]

During the course of a match, if a wrestler builds a 10-point advantage over the opponent, the bout is stopped and the leader is declared as the winner by technical superiority. The total scores are totaled at the end of the stipulated six-minute period, and the wrestler with the maximum points wins. In case of a tie, the wrestler who has scored the last point is declared the winner. A competitor might also be declared a winner if the opponent does not turn up or is medically unfit to compete.[3]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Liuzzi and Phogat were both disqualified for being above the stipulated weight during the weigh-in on the morning of the competition. While for Phogat the disqualification came as late as finals, Liuzzi was disqualified in the round of 16. Another - more subtle difference - was that while Liuzzi never appeared for the weigh-in, Phogat did appear and faced disqualification. Thus Liuzzi's opponent was officially given a walkover (WO), while Phogat's opponent in the final, had to contest for the gold with the wrestler, who was defeated by Phogat.
  2. ^ Phogat initially qualified for the finals, but was later disqualified for being above the stipulated weight during the weigh-in on the morning of the finals.[8] As a result, she was eliminated from the medal competition and Yusneylys Guzmán was awarded her place in the finals.[9]
