The Wrestling competition at the 2012 Games included 344 athletes. Each competing nation was allowed to enter a maximum of 18 competitors (1 per event).[1]
3 places were reserved for Great Britain as host nation, but Great Britain decided to use only one of them[2] and a further 3 invitational places were decided by the Tripartite Commission. The remaining 338 places were allocated through the qualification process, in which athletes won quota places for their respective nation.[1]
