Because France is non-existent in wrestling, while they will be dominating in judo, if it wasn't for Japan. 

 

In 2028 it will be the opposite, with Americans loving wrestling and not caring that much for judo.

Official statement of the RWF

On August 5-11, a wrestling tournament will be held in Paris (France) as part of the Olympic Games. Russian wrestlers, under conditions of sanction pressure, unreasonable restrictions and severe checks for admission, managed to win 16 Olympic quotas out of 18 possible, despite the fact that many team leaders, including both talented youth and famous world leaders, winners of the Olympic Games were not allowed to compete.

In mid-June, a list of admitted athletes was published on the resources of the International Olympic Committee, including only 10 Russian wrestlers, six of whom are far from the status of Russian team leaders.

During the qualifying events, in accordance with the rules of the Olympic Charter, the World Anti-Doping Agency, the charter of the United World Wrestling, which created all the conditions for selection on the basis of sports, in a fair and uncompromising fight Russian wrestlers won the right to participate in the Olympic Games.

However, the International Olympic Committee became an obstacle on the way of Abdulrashid Sadulaev to the third Olympic peak, did not give Zaurbek Sidakov, Zaur Uguev, Musa Evloev and other wrestlers of the Russian National Team the opportunity to compete, and the United World Wrestling lost the last chance that the Olympic Games are a competition of the strongest .

In this regard, the executive committee of the Russian Wrestling Federation held an extended meeting with the Russian National Teams coaching staff in freestyle, women's and Greco-Roman wrestling and with athletes who received invitations to the Olympic Games, and came to an unanimous decision - to refuse to participate in the Olympic Games .

The Russian Wrestling Federation, athletes and coaches of the Russian National Teams in freestyle, women's and Greco-Roman wrestling will not follow the lead of politicians and will not allow the spirit of the Russian Team to be broken. We do not accept the unsportsmanlike selection principle that guided the International Olympic Committee when forming the list of eligible athletes, the purpose of which is to undermine the principle of unity of our team.

The Russian Wrestling Federation has always been and remains open to fair and uncompromising wrestling in open and equal relations. We are confident that the absolute majority of the wrestling world supports us. Any sane person understands that the status of the Olympic Games as the most significant sporting event is being questioned, and wrestling competitions without Russian athletes will be incomplete, and the champions will not receive the satisfaction of winning the Olympic tournament.

fyi July 8th is last day for any sort of reallocations.

[Federer91 2,719]

10 people could pull out and we will still not get an additional woman's quota..  The team really screwed the qualification cycle.

[MHSN 3,569]

thanks to google translate, here Mikhail Mamiashvili says they don't send a team. but their wrestlers are allowed to participate individually if they want

 

but if you read it carefully if doesn't feel like he is giving them an option  but at least on paper it means we shouldn't count all Russian wrestlers out yet. better to wait couple more days.

@MHSN I think you are wrong about reallocation in 96kg GR. This is the quota from WQT where  Lazogianis beat  Kajaia in the quarterfinals. He lost the Olympic wrestle-off match and he should get quota.
