No penalty points were awarded for a clean victory, 0.5 penalty points were awarded for a victory for a clear advantage, 1 penalty point for a victory in points, 3 points for a defeat, 3.5 points for a defeat for a clear advantage, and 4 points for a clear victory. If a wrestler scored 6 or more penalty points, he was eliminated from the tournament. The title was disputed by 15 people. Norbert Noveny showed excellent readiness for the tournament, winning the first four fights cleanly, and securing himself before the final bouts a gap of 3.5 penalty points from his closest competitor Igor Kanygin (which even allowed him to lose on points). Nevertheless, the Hungarian wrestler won both final fights and became the Olympic champion.
