This freestyle wrestling competition consists of a single-elimination tournament, with a repechage used to determine the winner of two bronze medals. The two finalists face off for gold and silver medals. Each wrestler who loses to one of the two finalists moves 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.
Asian champion and 2021 World Wrestling Championships runner-up Miwa Morikawa of Japan won the gold medal after beating Long Jia from China 2–0 after six minutes. The Japanese managed to win by scoring a stepout and an activity point, both in the first period and defending her lead for the rest of the match.

Velte beat Mimi Hristova of Bulgaria 11–2 in one of the bronze medal bouts, while France's Larroque recorded a close 3–2 win on points over the second seed Elis Manolova of Azerbaijan to win the other bronze medal.
