Participants	18 from 18 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.

Georgian Leri Khabelovi had been favored in 1988 but was upset in the final match and won silver. Since Seoul he had won the 1990-91 World Championships and the 1992 European Championships and was expected to win easily, which he did. Khabelovi advanced through Group B undefeated, giving up only one point. In the final he met German Heiko Balz, bronze medalist at the 1991 Worlds, who was not scored upon in winning Group A. Khabelovi was careful in the final, scoring two 1-point takedowns to lead 2-0, before Balz scored a late point to make it close, 2-1, but Khabelovi held on to defend his Olympic title.
