The world record holder in 1960 was American Al Cantello, who had thrown 86.04 (282-3½) in 1959 in Compton, California. Cantello was AAU Champion in 1959-60 and was considered a contender for a medal, but would place only 10th. The top European was Janusz Sidło, 1954 and 1958 European Champion, 1956 Olympic silver medalist, and a former world record holder. He also had problems in Roma, placing eighth. The gold medal went to Soviet Viktor Tsybulenko who won by over five metres with his first round throw of 84.64 (277-8¼). It was his only major international title, but he would win silver at the 1962 European Championships.
