Lightweight, Greco-Roman (≤68 kg), Men

Date5 – 10 September 1972
StatusOlympic
LocationRinger-Judo-Halle, Messegelände (Halle 14), München
Participants23 from 23 countries
FormatScoring by negative points, with negative points given for any result short of a fall (win by fall-0.0; win by superior decision-0.5; win by decision-1.0; draw-2.0; loss by decision-3.0; loss by superior decision-3.5; loss by fall-4.0). Accumulation of 6 negative points eliminated the wrestler. When three or fewer wrestlers remained, they advanced to a final round, with preliminary results carried forward.

This class was completely open as the medals at the most recent tournaments had been spread among several different wrestlers. After five rounds there were four wrestlers remaining – Soviet Shamil Khisamutdinov, Italy’s Gian Matteo Ranzi, Bulgarian Stoyan Apostolov, and West German Manfred Schöndorfer. In what would be the final round, Apostolov defeated Schöndorfer and Khisamutdinov defeated Ranzi, both matches decided on points. This eliminated Ranzi and Schöndorfer and gave the gold medal to Khisamutdinov, based on his fifth round decision victory over Apostolov. Ranzi took the bronze medal, based on fewer bad points than Schöndorfer.
