For the qualification, the athletes were drawn into two groups. The qualification distance for the direct entry into the final was 76.00 m. Since only eight throwers exceeded this distance (highlighted in light blue), the final field was filled with the next best participants from both groups to twelve participants (highlighted in light green). So finally 74.86 m was enough for the final.

final
Date: August 21, 1992
Twelve athletes had qualified for the final, eight of them by the required qualification distance, the other four by their placements. All three athletes from the united team were in the final. The final field was completed by one participant each from Australia, Germany, Estonia, France, Italy, Austria, Hungary and the USA. The second qualified US American, Jud Logan, was disqualified for taking clenbuterol and subsequently banned for four years. He had initially reached fourth place in the competition.
After the resignation of Jurij Sedych and Sergei Litvinov , who had dominated this competition for more than a decade, the favorites were the three athletes from the combined team, i. H. European champion and vice world champion Ihar Astapkowitsch, the World Cup fifth Andrei Abduwalijew, and the European Championship third Igor Nikulin. Other candidates for top positions were World Cup third Heinz Weis from Germany and World Cup fourth Tibor Gécsek from Hungary.
Astapkovich took the lead on the first lap, followed by Abduwalijew and Nikulin. In the second round, Abduwalijew threw 80.18 m and thus sixteen centimeters further than Astapkowitsch. He countered in the third attempt with 81.80 m, Abduwalijew in round four then with 82.54 m. Thus the final stand was established, even if Astapkowitsch improved to 81.96 m and Nikulin to 81.38 m in the last attempt. None of the other finalists succeeded in surpassing the 80-meter mark. Places four to six went to Tibor Gécsek, the Estonian Jüri Tamm and Heinz Weis.
Not counting 1984, when the Soviet Union boycotted the Los Angeles Games , this was the fourth triple success in a row for athletes from the Soviet Union or the successor organization CIS .
