Wrestling at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Men's freestyle 55 kg

Men's freestyle 55 kilograms competition at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom, took place on 10 August at ExCeL London.[1] This freestyle wrestling competition consisted of a single-elimination tournament, with a repechage used to determine the winners of two bronze medals. The two finalists faced off for gold and silver medals. Each wrestler who lost to one of the two finalists moved into the repechage, culminating in a pair of bronze medal matches featuring the semifinal losers each facing the remaining repechage opponent from their half of the bracket.
