The defending Olympic gold medalist was Norway’s Jon Rønningen, but he hardly been dominant since 1988. He won the 1990 European title and took bronze at the 1991 Worlds, but that was it at major internationals. Still, he made it through Group B undefeated and faced Unified Team wrestler Alfred Ter-Mkrtychyan in the final. Ter-Mkrtychyan appeared to have the match in hand with seconds left, leading 1-0, when Rønningen scored a two-point takedown, but the Unified coaches and Ter-Mkrtychyan were certain time had run out and started celebrating. After a discussion, however, the officials that the takedown was legal and Rønningen had defended his gold medal.
