Middleweight, Greco-Roman (≤82 kilograms), Men

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	15 from 15 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..

The most recent World and European Championships had been won by Soviet Temur Abchasawa, but he would never get to compete at the Olympics. In his absence the favorite was likely Romanian Ion Draica, silver medalist at the 1982 Worlds and bronze medalist at the 1983 Europeans. In the first round of Group A, Draica narrowly won over Norwegian Klaus Mysen, winning on criteria after tying 4-4. Draica then cruised through Group A, meeting Greek Dimitrios Thanopoulos in the final. Thanopoulos had no international record but the match was close, Draica winning the gold medal by a narrow decision, 4-3.
