Charles Hamelin set an Olympic record in the heats but was disqualified in semifinals. In Final A, Sándor Liu Shaolin, trying to pass from the inside, interfered with one of the competitors, which resulted in the fall of both Lim Hyo-jun and Seo Yi-ra. The two remaining contenders, Girard and Krueger, became gold and silver medalists. Liu Shaolin was disqualified, and Seo Yi-ra won the bronze medal by standing after the fall and crossing the finish line first.
