Nodar Georgiyevich Khokhashvili (born 28 September 1940) is a retired Georgian freestyle wrestler who won a bronze medal in the featherweight division at the 1964 Olympics. His silver medal match against Stancho Kolev ended in a draw, and the preference was given to Kolev because of his lower body weight.[1]
After the Olympics, Khokhashvili moved to the lightweight category and won medals at the 1969 European Championships and 1969 World Championships. Domestically, he won one Soviet lightweight title in 1969.[2]
