final

Date: August 1, 1932

Pat O'Callaghan, Olympic champion in Amsterdam four years earlier , was at the height of his career. He only had to be careful of the Finn Ville Pörhölä, who had changed disciplines after his Olympic victory in the shot put twelve years ago. And the already 35-year-old Pörhölä led quite surprisingly to the fifth round. With his last attempt the Irishman showed strong nerves and surpassed the Finn by half a meter. With that the gold and silver medals were distributed. The bronze medal went to local Peter Zaremba, who, along with O'Callaghan and Pörhölä, was the only one who exceeded the 50 meter mark. The Swedish Olympic runner-up from 1928 Ossian Skiöld finished fourth this time.

Ville Pörhölä won the first Finnish medal in hammer throw.
