Greco-Roman wrestling competitions in the framework of the 1952 Olympic lightweight champion (up to 62 kilograms) were held in Helsinki from July 24 to July 27, 1952 in the Exhibition Hall I.
The tournament was held according to the system with the accrual of penalty points. For a clear victory, no penalty points were awarded, for a victory on points the fighter received one penalty point, for any loss (on points with a score of 2-1, with a score of 3-0 or a pure defeat) - three penalty points. The wrestler who scored five penalty points dropped out of the tournament. The three remaining wrestlers reached the final, held meetings among themselves. The battle according to the tournament regulations lasted 15 minutes. If no carcass was recorded within the first ten minutes, then the judges could determine the wrestler with the advantage. If no one was given an advantage, then six minutes of fighting in the stalls were appointed, with each of the wrestlers being down for three minutes (the order was determined by lot). If one of the wrestlers was given an advantage, then he had the right to choose the following six minutes of struggle: either in the ground on top, or in the rack. If after six minutes a clear victory was not recorded, then the remaining four minutes, the wrestlers fought in the stance.
In the featherweight division, 17 participants fought. In the absence of Ulle Anderberg , the silver medalist of previous games and the world champion in 1950 (he played free-style wrestling in lightweight and became the Olympic champion), there was no favorite of the competition. The Soviet wrestler Yakov Punkin , the Egyptian Abdel Al Rashid (reached the final part thanks to a personal victory over Umberto Trippa) and the young Hungarian Imre Poyak entered the final part. Punkin ruthlessly dealt with competitors, defeating both of them quickly and cleanly and became the Olympic champion. Poyak remained second, he defeated Al Rashid before the final part, and Al-Rashid received a bronze medal.
