Date13 August 1932 — 9:00

There were 14 firing points at the rifle range, and with 26 in the event, the English Match was fired in two relays. During the first relay, Hungary’s Antal Barát-Lemberkovits shot one round at the wrong target. The shot scored a 10 on the wrong target. The error eventually cost Barát-Lemberkovits the gold medal, as he finished 9 points out of the gold medal. Bertil Rönnmark (SWE), a pharmacist, and Gustavo Huet (MEX), a student, tied for first with 294 and shot-off for the gold medal, with Rönnmark winning. Rönnmark used a Danish rifle and ammunition, while Huet used American equipment. After the shooting, Swedes Rönnmark and Andersson (5th) had given their left-over bullets to friends. When they both made a shoot-off, they had to track back their ammo, risking elimination without bullets.
