Medalists
editMen's freestyle
edit- Note 1: Official report mistakenly lists Zardoni (ITA) as winning bronze in Lightweight category, contemporary reports attribute bronze medal to Constantino Kozanidis (GRE).
- Note 2: Egypt competed as United Arab Republic (UAR) even though Syria had seceded from the UAR and sent its own team to the 1963 Games. For this reason, UAR results from 1963 are retroactively attributed to Egypt.
