Date6 – 15 July 1912
StatusOlympic
LocationStockholms Olympiastadion, Stockholm
Participants38 from 13 countries
FormatDouble-elimination tournament. When three or fewer wrestlers remained, they advanced to a final-round tournament.

In 1910 and 1911, there had been six different competitions considered as world championships, more properly called international meets. They had been won by Karl Wernicke (GER - 1910 in Düsseldorf), Antti Hyvönen (FIN - 1911 in Helsinki), Hans Lachnit (GER - 1911 in Stuttgart), Erich Kockel (GER - 1911 in Berlin), R. Walter (GER - 1911 in Dresden), and Heinrich Rauß (AUT - 1911 in Vienna). Of these, only Rauß competed in this event at Stockholm, but he was eliminated after four rounds. The winner was Kaarlo Koskelo, who never again competed at the Olympics, and never competed in a world or European championship. Finnish wrestlers dominated this class, taking the gold and bronze medal, and six of the top eight places.
