Featherweight, Freestyle (≤62 kg), Men

Date	7 – 9 August 1984 — 12:00-15:00-18:00-20:30 (all days)
Status	Olympic
Location	Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, California, USA
Participants	16 from 16 countries
Format	Two groups of competitors. Placement within each group decided by a series of matches with positive points awarded for each result, from 4.0 for victory by fall, to 0.0 for defeat by fall. When three wrestlers remained within a group, they wrestled a round-robin series to determine the top three placements within the group. The winners of each group then wrestled for 1st and 2nd place. Runners-up in each group wrestled for 3rd and 4th place. Third-place finishers within each group wrestled for 5th and 6th place.

American Lee Roy Smith had been a silver medalist at the 1983 World Championships and was expected to represent the US in Los Angeles. He lost out controversially in the US Trials, however, against Randy Lewis, with the decision going to the courts, and then requiring a re-match between the two wrestlers. Lewis had been a member of the ill-fated 1980 US Olympic team. In Los Angeles he won Group B, going through without a loss, and then met Japan’s Kosei Akaishi, who had unusually advanced despite losing a match in Group A, in the final. Lewis had been dominant throughout and crushed Akaishi in the second period of the gold medal match, with the bout stopped on technical superiority with Lewis leading 24-11.
