Вісім місяців тривала напружена боротьба за Олімпійські ліцензії, яка почалася з Чемпіонату Світу у Лас Вегасі (вересень 2015) і завершилася ІІ Кваліфікаційним Турніром у Стамбулі (травень 2016). За цей час змінювався рейтинг борців, спортсмени переходили у інші вагові категорії та робили усе від них залежне, щоб отримати заповідну ліцензію. Комусь це вдалося, хтось "обнулив лічильник" і знову опинився за 4 роки до Олімпіади, а для когось цей шанс потрапити на Олімпійські Ігри був останнім...
Наразі вже відомий список володарів Олімпійських Ліцензій 2016, серед щасливчиків - і українські спортсмени.
