Bantamweight, Greco-Roman (≤57 kg), Men

Date	28 – 30 July 1992
Status	Olympic
Location	Instituto Nacional de Educación Física de Cataluña (INEFC), Barcelona
Participants	19 from 19 countries
Format	Two groups (A and B). Double elimination tournament within each group. Top five in each group advance to placement matches for 1st-10th place.

The favorite coming into Barcelona was German Rifat Yildiz, who had won the last two World Championships and the 1992 European Championship. He easily advanced to the final where he met Korean An Han-Bong, who was relatively unknown as a bantam, but he had won the 1990 Asian Games in flyweight, and World Championship medals in flyweight in 1989-90. Yildiz stormed ahead in the final, leading 5-2, but An came on strongly at the end and pulled out a narrow decision, 6-5, to win a big upset gold medal. Yildiz would compete at the next two Olympics, placing fifth and fourth.
