Notes

As a result, the Olympic licenses were redistributed to Georgia and Armenia.
• ^{c d} Georgia (Zurabi Iakobishvili) initially secured a quota place in men's freestyle 65 kg at the first World Olympic Qualifier. Following the adjustment of Olympic qualifying nations as a response to doping violations, the nation's license was transferred to Bulgaria. Moreover, the unused license won by Bulgaria at the final World Olympic Qualifier was awarded to the United States.

As a result, the Olympic licenses were redistributed to Bulgaria and Hungary.
• ^h Hungary (Dániel Ligeti) initially secured a quota place in men's freestyle 125 kg at the first World Olympic Qualifier. Following the adjustment of Olympic qualifying nations as a response to doping violations, the nation's license would have been awarded to Bulgaria (Lyuben Iliev), but the country also earned the quota at the European Qualifier. Instead, Kyrgyzstan (Aiaal Lazarev), who finished in third, took the unused berth won by Hungary in the same tournament.
