Favors were mainly the Slovak champion and vice European champion Matej Tóth, the Olympic champion in 2012 and runner-up Jared Tallent of Australia and the French world record holder and European champion Yohann Diniz. The Russian walkers, who were completely doped at the last games, were not represented due to the exclusion from Russia by the IAAF .
At the beginning the Serbian Vladimir Savanović took the lead, but was stopped and overtaken by Diniz after just one kilometer. Up to kilometer five Diniz had a lead of 28 seconds over a nine-man chasing group that included Tallent and Tóth with seven other walkers. By ten kilometers the Japanese Hirooki Arai had caught up with the chasing group. At fifteen kilometers, the Frenchman's lead had increased to 53 seconds, and the chasing group now consisted of eight walkers. The first laps were made. After twenty kilometers, Diniz was in the front with 1:23 minutes, the now nine-man chasing field again had a two-minute lead over the main group.
After 25 kilometers, Diniz's lead had increased to 1:40 minutes. The Canadian Evan Dunfee tried an attack in the chasing group and was able to reduce the lead of the leading Frenchman to 1:21 minutes up to thirty kilometers. Dunfee was caught up by the chasing field again, but then immediately pulled away again. Diniz slacked off significantly, his lead was getting smaller and smaller. At 33 km, the European champion surprisingly stopped at his coach. Dunfee was the first to reach the French, who now lined up behind him. Diniz could not keep up with the pace of the Canadian and fell back into the chasing group, which was no longer united. Tóth, Tallent, Arai and the Chinese Wei Yu were now together with Diniz the first pursuit of the Canadian, whose lead was only about fifteen seconds. Irishman Robert Heffernan was only a few seconds behind. Horacio Nava from Mexico was almost a minute and a half behind. At another stop, Diniz collapsed, but was able to recover one more time and restart the competition.
Dunfee was overtaken at kilometer 39. Then Tallent pulled away a little. Arai followed four seconds behind. Tóth, Dunfee and Yu were seven seconds behind. That was at forty kilometers. Shortly before the start of the last lap, Tóth then caught up with Tallent and passed him. In the group behind, Yu had lost touch. Arai's lead over Dunfee grew slowly and the Japanese went into the final lap in third. World champion Matej Tóth could not be taken away from the Olympic victory. Eighteen seconds after him, Jared Tallent crossed the finish line as a silver medalist. Hirooki Arai was only eight seconds behind Tallent in third. Evan Dunfee was fourth ahead of Yu Wei and Robert Heffernan. Yohan Diniz made it to the finish line eighth behind the Norwegian Håvard Haukenes.
Matej Tóth was the first Slovak Olympic and medalist in this discipline. At the same time he was the first Olympic champion in Slovakia in athletics.
