Welterweight, Greco-Roman (≤74 kilograms), Men

Date	27 – 29 July 1992
Status	Olympic
Location	Instituto Nacional de Educación Física de Cataluña (INEFC), Barcelona
Participants	21 from 21 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 heavy favorite was Armenian Mnatsakan Iskandaryan, wrestling for the Unified Team, who was World Champion in 1990-91 and European Champion in 1991, although he had lost the 1992 European final to Romanian Constantin Mircea, who did not compete in Barcelona. Iskandaryan made the Olympic final easily, where his opponent was Poland’s Józef Tracz, who had not been on an international podium since a silver at the 1987 Worlds. Tracz would make a habit of winning international silver medals, losing to Iskandaryan in the Barcelona final, 6-3, and then adding silver medals at the 1993 and 1994 Worlds, losing again in 1994 to Iskandaryan.
