| Participants | 29 from 21 countries | |
| Format | Final only. Lap Length 1.67 km | |
The competition took place on the River Seine, near the Pont Alexander III bridge, with the athletes swimming six laps of the river. The favorites of the competition were the last three World Champions, who made up the podium at Tokyo 2020: 2022 – Gregorio Paltrinieri, Italy (bronze at Tokyo 2020); 2023 – Florian Wellbrock, Germany (gold medalist at Tokyo); and 2023 – Kristóf Rasovszky, Hungary (silver at Tokyo).
The predictions would be confirmed in the early going, as after 5 km they were all in the top three. After 7 km. Paltrinieri began to lag, and after 8 km Wellbrock was dropped. On the last lap, two swimmers had distanced the chasers: Rasovszky and German Oliver Klemet (who had already placed seventh in the 400 m freestyle on July 27), with Rasovszky pulling ahead on the final lap to win gold.
The bronze medal went to Hungarian Dávid Betlehem, which was a surprise as, prior to 2024, he had never won a major international individual medal, although he had won the 5 km gold medal a few weeks before the Olympics at the European Championships. Rasovszky and Betlehem’s medals were the first for Hungary in this event at the Olympic Games.
