Sweden received an unused quota place from IWF to send a female weightlifter to the Olympics, as a response to the vacancy of women's quota places in the individual World Rankings and to the "multiple positive cases" of doping on several nations.^[49] This marked Sweden's historic debut in women's weightlifting at the Games.

Wrestling

See main article: Wrestling at the 2016 Summer Olympics. Sweden has qualified a total of seven wrestlers for each of the following weight classes into the Olympic competition. Three of them finished among the top six to book Olympic spots each in all women's freestyle events (except 48, 63, & 75 kg) at the 2015 World Championships.^[50] Meanwhile, four further wrestlers had claimed the remaining Olympic slots to round out the Swedish roster in separate World Qualification Tournaments; two of them at the initial meet in Ulaanbaatar and two more at the final meet in Istanbul.^[51]
