Two boxers are competing for Bulgaria,including the bronze medalist from the last Olympics Boris Nikolov.He reached the quarterfinal,where he lost from Pietrzykowski from Poland.
Each round featured all wrestlers pairing off and wrestling one bout (with one wrestler having a bye if there were an odd number). The loser received 3 points. The winner received 1 point if the win was by decision and 0 points if the win was by fall. Everyone,who is competing in the first round is qualifying for the second,no matter if they achieved a win by decision or fall,or they achieved a lose.
At the end of each round, any wrestler with more than 5 points was eliminated. This elimination continued until the medal rounds, which began when 3 wrestlers remained. These 3 wrestlers each faced each other in a round-robin medal round (with earlier results counting, if any had wrestled another before); record within the medal round determined medals, with bad points breaking ties.
^In the third round Stoyanov lost from Kyösti Lehtonen from Finland with result 0-3,but apart from that he was in the top 5 wrestlers with least amount of points,which was enough for him to advance to the fourth round.
In the fourth round,Stoyanov had to play two matches and win both of them to qualify for the medal rounds.Unfortunately,he lost his match against Riza Doğan from Turkey with result 1-3 and he did not advance
