Russia's Viktor Lebedev originally earned a quota place at the 2015 World Championships, but because of new regulations set by the IOC, he was not allowed to participate due to a positive doping test at the 2006 Junior World Championships. His spot has been replaced by Belarus, the nation of the next best-ranked wrestler from the 2015 World Championships.
