Before the Helsinki Games , the 16-meter mark was jumped three times: on August 6, 1936 in Berlin by the Japanese Tajima Naoto, on December 3, 1950 by Adhemar Ferreira da Silva, who then scored 16.01 on September 30, 1951 m improved the world record by one centimeter. Da Silva was therefore seen as a top favorite. Medal chances were given to the Soviet European champion from 1950 , Leonid Shcherbakov.
In the final, da Silva jumped a new world record with 16.12 m in the second attempt, in the fourth round he reached 16.09 m and in the fifth he improved the world record again with 16.22 m. In the last attempt he finally reached 16.05 m. In total, da Silva jumped over the 16-meter mark four times in this competition. Shcherbakov was third up to round four. The Venezuelan Arnoldo Devonish jumped in the second attempt with 15.52 m in second place, before Shcherbakow in the fifth attempt with 15.98 m achieved a new European record and at the same time the jump in second place.
The Olympic champion of the last games , the Swede Arne Åhman, was there again in Helsinki. He qualified for the final with 14.72 m, but then finished only 15th and last place with 14.05 m.
