Lightweight, Freestyle (≤68 kilograms), Men

Date	9 – 11 August 1984 — 12:00-15:00-18:00-20:30 (all days)
Status	Olympic
Location	Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, California, USA
Participants	22 from 22 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..

None of the medalists from the recent World Championships were able to compete in this class. In their absence American Andrew Rein and Korean You In-Tak both went undefeated through their group matches and met in the final. Their match was very close with You winning on criteria after they tied at 5-5. In the process You injured his back, which required several injury time-outs, and they hurt so badly they he had to be helped onto the victory podium.
