The two medals placed the United Team of Germany in a tie for second-most all-time with Switzerland and Italy; Germany had the most with four. Italy earned its third straight medal in the event, all of different colours, with a silver in Tokyo. The bronze medal went to the Netherlands, the nation's first medal in the event since 1900.

Václav Chalupa of Czechoslovakia took silver, that nation's first medal in the men's single sculls.
