| Date | 1 – 3 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 (A and B). Double elimination tournament within each group. Top 4 in each group advanced to placement matches for 1st-8th place. | |
This was one of only three Greco-Roman classes in 1984 in which the defending World Champion competed, Masaki Eto of Japan (the other being the featherweight and lightweight classes). His biggest challenger was expected to be West German Pasquale Passarelli, the 1981 World Champion. As expected, Eto won Group A and Passarelli won Group B and they met for the gold medal. Passarelli went ahead on points but Eto had him close to a pin for the last 1½ minutes of the match but could never quite turn him, and Passarelli held on to win gold. Within a year after the Los Angeles Olympics Passarelli was arrested and convicted for smuggling stolen money in France and Paraguay.
