Lightweight, Freestyle (≤68 kg), 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	22 from 22 countries
Format	Two groups (A and B). Double elimination tournament within each group. Top 4 in each group advanced to placement matches for 1st-8th place.

None of the medalists from the recent World Championships were able to compete in this class. In their absence American Andrew Rein and Korean You In-Tak both went undefeated through their group matches and met in the final. Their match was very close with You winning on criteria after they tied at 5-5. In the process You injured his back, which required several injury time-outs, and they hurt so badly they he had to be helped onto the victory podium.
