To be clear. These lists do not necessarily reflect the overall world rankings. Though they are close, some of the best wrestlers in the world will not be competing for Olympic Gold next week. I am also ranking off of world competition results rather than how talented I think one wrestler is over the others. The top 4 will most likely be the announced Olympic seeds in the order I want to arrange them in. Usually, those guys performed well at World events, so they are good enough to be in the top 4 anyways. If I completely disagree with it though, I will order it the way I want. The list I worked off of is here (https://uww.org/event/tokyo-2020?tab=participants&weight-category=2eeeb092-e8ea-11eb-803a-06b1e9be04dc) and seeds where found here (https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Wrestling/Features/2021/June/25/UWW-releases-Olympic-Games-seeds)
