The men's freestyle welterweight competition at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo took place from 11 to 14 October at the Komazawa Gymnasium. Nations were limited to one competitor.[1] Welterweight was the fourth-heaviest category, including wrestlers weighing 70 to 78 kilograms (154.3 to 172.0 lb).[2]
Competition format
This freestyle 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]

Final round
The round 5 draw between Sagaradze and Oğan counted for the final round. Sanatkaran wrestled both of the other medalists to a tie in the final rounds as well. This left all 3 wrestlers in a three-way tie on final round points at 6 because each had drawn the others. The next tie-breaker was total bad points throughout the tournament. Sanatkaran received the bronze medal, having the highest point total at 8 to the other two men's 6. Oğan prevailed on Sagaradze on the next tie-breaker, body weight, with the lighter Turk winning over the heavier Soviet.
