Date20 – 24 July 1976
StatusOlympic
LocationCentre Pierre-Charbonneau, Parc olympique, Montréal, Québec
Participants17 from 17 countries
FormatScoring by negative points, with negative points given for any result short of a fall. Accumulation of 6 negative points eliminated the wrestler.

This event was expected to come down to Poland’s Kazimierz Lipień and Soviet Nelson Davydian, who had divided up the most recent World and European Championships. They both made the final along with Hungarian Lászlo Réczi, but all three had already met so there was no need for a final round. In round five Réczi had defeated Davydian on points, 4-2. Davydian then defeated Lipień on points, 10-6, in round six. The round seven match was decisive when Lipień defeated Réczi on points, 13-4, which was a superior decision. This gave Lipień only 3.5 bad points in the final round, to 4.0 for Davydian, and 4.5 for Réczi, which is how the medals were sorted out. Lipień’s twin brother, Józef, also won a silver medal in wrestling at Moskva in 1980, after having won the 1973 World Championships as a bantamweight.
