On Thursday, the United World Wrestling (UWW) press service announced that Mamedov was included in the list of participants in the Summer Olympics.

A total of 97 freestyle wrestlers will participate in the Olympics.
— There is no final information about Mamedov’s participation in the Olympic Games yet. It is not known whether he will participate in the Olympic Games. One of these days everything will be decided, “Mamiashvili told .
Earlier, information appeared on the website of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) that Mamedov had accepted the IOC’s invitation to perform in the French capital. However, last week, the Russian Wrestling Federation (FSBR) announced that Russian wrestlers will not go to the Olympic Games.
In February 2022, the IOC recommended that sports federations not allow Russians and Belarusians to participate in international tournaments. Later, the recommendations were softened, and in December 2023, IOC chief Thomas Bach said that the organization would allow Russian and Belarusian athletes who had passed the selection process to the 2024 Summer Games in an individual neutral status. Compliance with the selection criteria is confirmed by a special IOC commission.
The games in Paris will take place from July 26 to August 11.
