This Greco-Roman wrestling competition continued to use the "bad points" elimination system introduced at the 1928 Summer Olympics, with a slight modification. Each round featured all wrestlers pairing off and wrestling one bout (with one wrestler having a bye if there were an odd number). The loser received 3 points if the loss was by fall or unanimous decision and 2 points if the decision was 2-1 (this was the modification from prior years, where all losses were 3 points). The winner received 1 point if the win was by decision and 0 points if the win was by fall. At the end of each round, any wrestler with at least 5 points was eliminated.[3]

Svedberg and Virtanen each picked up their first point, winning by decision. Schäfer stayed at 1 point, winning by fall. The three losers in the round were each eliminated. This left three remaining wrestlers, none of whom had faced each other and each of whom had 1 point. This effectively turned the remaining competition into a round-robin. The official report places Baytorun 5th and Tozzi 6th.[4]
