August 20, 1958, 11.30 a.m.
The eighteen participants took part in a joint qualifying round. The qualifying distance for direct entry into the final was also set so low in this competition at 42.00 meters that only three athletes did not reach this mark. The fifteen qualified throwers (highlighted in light blue) competed together for the final two days later.
