The favorite of the race was the Polish world record holder Zdzisław Krzyszkowiak. In 1958 he was double European champion over 5000 and 10,000 meters . His strongest opponents came from the USSR.
In the final, the Soviet runners tried to win the race together at high speed. Initially, Alexei Konow took over the management work and ensured a fast journey from the start. He passed the 1000 meter mark in 2:45 minutes. Behind it was the Belgian Gaston Roelants. The 2000 meters were completed in 5; 45.9 minutes, now Nikolai Sokolow was in the lead, while Konow fell behind. But Krzyszkowiak kept in touch with the leaders at all times. On the back straight of the last lap, he in turn took the initiative and took the final sprint. A gap quickly opened up to his opponents, the race for gold was decided. Zdzisław Krzyszkowiak won in a new Olympic record time . The two Soviet runners Nikolai Sokolow and Semjon Rschishchin finished second and third in that order. Gaston Roelants had to be satisfied with the ungrateful fourth place. But for him, four years later in Tokyo, the Olympic victory over this distance should follow.
Zdzisław Krzyszkowiak won the first gold medal for Poland in this discipline.
