Ukraine qualified a total of nine wrestlers for each of the following weight classes into the Olympic competition. Five of them finished among the top six to book Olympic spots in the men's freestyle (97 kg), men's Greco-Roman (85, 98, & 130 kg), and women's freestyle (63 kg) at the 2015 World Championships, while two more Olympic berths were awarded to Ukrainian wrestlers, who progressed to the top two finals at the 2016 European Qualification Tournament.[44][45]

Three further wrestlers claimed the remaining Olympic slots to round out the Ukrainian roster at the final meet of the World Qualification Tournament in Istanbul.

On May 11, 2016, United World Wrestling (UWW) decided to revoke two Olympic licenses from Ukraine in men's freestyle 66 kg and women's freestyle 58 kg, respectively, due to doping violations at the European Qualification Tournament, but these licenses were redistributed back two months later.[46][47]
