Only a 2016 Olympic/world medalist who earned an automatic berth into the final wrestle-off can request a delay for competing in the Final Wrestle-Off for medical reasons at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled weigh-in time (no request for delay will be allowed, or granted, with less than 48 hours before weigh-in).Since this is the case, this very likely rules out the possibility that Jordan Oliver is not competing due to an injury.
