* Oceania will not be attributed a place by weight category, but a quota of 7 places (sex not specified) allocated at the end of the Oceania Continental Championships.

** 7 invitation places, preference given to Host nation (China) if not already qualified. If China qualified previously, remaining places will be allocated by FILA, in collaboration with ANOC and the IOC, to the NOCs which have participated in all the qualification phases but which have not succeeded in qualifying a wrestler.
