Karel Halík of Czechoslovakia had won the Inter-Allied Championship at this class. He competed in Antwerp but lost early. Auguste Savonnet of Belgium had been runner-up to Halík at Paris, but he abandoned during his first match. The defending champion in this class was Emil Väre of Finland. Väre was likely the favorite. In 1911 he had won one of )four) different world championships that were contested that year. In 1912 he also won the European championship, in addition to his Olympic gold medal that year. At Antwerp, Väre won four of his five matches by pins.
