Bantamweight, Freestyle (≤57 kilograms), Men

Date	9 – 11 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 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 world’s top bantamweight was Soviet Sergey Beloglazov, World Champion in 1981 and 1983 who had won the gold medal in 1980, and would win again in 1988. His 1980 gold was won in the absence of Japan’s Hideaki Tomiyama, who at that time was the best bantamweight in the world. Beloglazov could not compete in Los Angeles but Tomiyama did, and achieved some measure of solace for missing the 1980 Olympics by finally winning an Olympic gold medal. The final matched Tomiyama against American Barry Davis, but ended in an 8-3 victory on points for the Japanese. Davis would later win bronze and silver medals at the1986 and 1987 Worlds, but Beloglazov continued to dominate the class, winning the 1985-87 World titles.
