The Olympic Games will be seeded for the second time, and there are three opportunities to earn seeding points. The second of those is the continental championships, two of which were just completed.
We've tallied the updated seeding points earned after the African and European championships, which serve two purposes. The first is as we mentioned to separate the top four seeds at the Olympics in Tokyo this August. The second is to separate the top two seeds at the four different continental qualifiers next month.
Prior to the continental qualifiers, those countries who have not yet guaranteed themselves a place in the Games can earn seeding points at their respective continental championships. For example, Ukraine is not yet qualified at 65kg in men's freestyle, so they sent an athlete to the European championships to try to earn separation points for the European Olympic qualifier.
Those same points apply to any athletes entered in the last chance qualifier in early May, which allows any country around the world to enter that has not yet won a slot in the Olympics. After that, there is a second ranking series event in Warsaw, Poland, in June, which is the final opportunity to earn separation points for Tokyo.
Below are the points earned by weight class so far, and remember that these points only apply to the athlete that earned them; they cannot be shared between wrestlers from the same country. An asterisk indicates that nation has qualified that weight for the Games.
