Wrestling at the 1964 Summer Olympics – Men's Greco-Roman light heavyweight
January 01, 1970
The men's Greco-Roman light heavyweight competition at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo took place from 16 to 19 October at the Komazawa Gymnasium. Nations were limited to one competitor.[1]
This Greco-Roman wrestling competition continued to use the "bad points" elimination system introduced at the 1928 Summer Olympics for Greco-Roman and at the 1932 Summer Olympics for freestyle wrestling, as adjusted at the 1960 Summer Olympics. Each bout awarded 4 points. If the victory was by fall, the winner received 0 and the loser 4. If the victory was by decision, the winner received 1 and the loser 3. If the bout was tied, each wrestler received 2 points. A wrestler who accumulated 6 or more points was eliminated. Rounds continued until there were 3 or fewer uneliminated wrestlers. If only 1 wrestler remained, he received the gold medal. If 2 wrestlers remained, point totals were ignored and they faced each other for gold and silver (if they had already wrestled each other, that result was used). If 3 wrestlers remained, point totals were ignored and a round-robin was held among those 3 to determine medals (with previous head-to-head results, if any, counting for this round-robin).[1][2]
More than half of the wrestlers (5 of 9) were eliminated. Radev finally received his first point, but still led at 1—guaranteeing he would make it through round 5 as well.
The fifth round eliminated 3 of the 4 remaining wrestlers; Radev, as the only man left with fewer than 6 points, took the gold medal. The tie in the standings between Svensson and Kiehl was broken by their head-to-head results in this round; Svensson won the bout between them and earned silver.
