American shot putter; O'Brien was the fourth man to win two shot put medals and the second man to win two gold medals. It was the third straight Games in which the United States took the first two places, with Skobla's bronze (Czechoslovakia's first shot put medal since 1932) blocking a third straight medal sweep for the Americans.

moved into second place with a 17.61m, improving to a 17.81m in the third round which proved to be enough to take silver. While he didn't improve, O'Brien threw consistently just behind his second round mark. His best throw was in the fifth round, his third

The competition used the two-round format introduced in 1936, with the qualifying round completely separate from the divided final. In qualifying, each athlete received three attempts; those recording a mark of at least 15.00 metres advanced to the final. If fewer than 12 athletes achieved that

Olympic record with a 17.92m.

The qualifying round was held despite there being only 14 athletes with at least 12 guaranteed to move to the final. All 14 men who started the competition reached the qualifying mark of 15.00 metres, so no athlete was eliminated in the qualifying round.

Australia made its debut in the men's shot put; Germany competed for the first time as the "United Team of
