The 2026 Senior World Wrestling Championships are being held in Astana, Kazakhstan. Initial reports noted the arrival and preparation of the Serbian team, which includes five Greco-Roman competitors and one freestyle competitor. Serbian head coach Vojislav Trajković indicated that preparation included international training camps and that certain athletes were seeded in the tournament draw. As the competition progressed, results for the United States Greco-Roman program showed several early exits. Athletes such as Benji Peak, Cohlton Schultz, Timothy Young, Max Nowry, Otto Black, and Beka Melelashvili faced elimination or failed to advance through repechage matches. Additionally, Nigerian wrestlers Esther Kolawole and Christianah Ogunsanya were among the participants representing Team Nigeria. Further tournament developments included early exits for Algerian and Brazilian competitors. In the women's freestyle 57 kg category, Algeria's Achouak Djamila Tekouk was eliminated in the first round following a 4-2 loss to India's Neha Sharma.
