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]

Background

[edit]

This was the sixth appearance of the women's freestyle flyweight category, debut in 2004 as 48kg, until 2016, from 2020, 50kg as current weight limit.

Yui Susaki was a defending Olympic champion, but she lost to Vinesh Phogat, she won bronze medal by beating Oksana Livach, Sun Yanan did not qualify, one of two bronze medalists, Mariya Stadnik beat Anastasia Blayvas, then lost to Dolgorjavyn Otgonjargal, Sarah Hildebrandt upgraded from bronze in Tokyo, to gold in Paris as a eventual champion.

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]

Qualification
