The men's freestyle featherweight competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles took place from 1 August to 3 August at the Grand Olympic Auditorium. Nations were limited to one competitor.[1][2] This weight class was limited to wrestlers weighing up to 61kg.[3]
This freestyle wrestling competition did not use the single-elimination bracket format previously used for Olympic freestyle wrestling but instead followed the format that was introduced at the 1928 Summer Olympics for Greco-Roman wrestling, using an elimination system based on the accumulation of points. Each round featured all wrestlers pairing off and wrestling one bout (with one wrestler having a bye if there were an odd number). The loser received 3 points. The winner received 1 point if the win was by decision and 0 points if the win was by fall. At the end of each round, any wrestler with at least 5 points was eliminated.[4]

Round 2
Pihlajamäki quickly became the only remaining 0-point wrestler, with a second win by fall. Farmakidis and Nemir also won by fall this round, staying at 1 point each. Karlsson's second win, like his first, was by decision; he had 2 points after the round. Chasson was the only first-round winner to lose in the second (his facing Farmakidis made it impossible that all five could win), dropping to 3 points. This total was matched by Taylor, the winner of the match-up between two first-round losers. The other four wrestlers who lost in the first round lost again in round 2, being eliminated.[5]

Round 3
One bout this round was sure to result in elimination, pitting two 3-point wrestlers against each other. Chasson forfeited the bout, leaving Taylor at 3 points. Karlsson survived potential elimination by defeating Farmakidis; the former had 3 points after his third straight win by decision while the latter jumped to 4 points. Nemir also moved to 4 points after losing to Pihlajamäki[5]

Round 4
Pihlajamäki won his fourth bout, picking up a second point with the win by decision and eliminating Farmakidis. Nemir, who started with 4 points and therefore needed a win by fall to continue, won by fall, eliminating Taylor. Karlsson had a bye, staying at 3 points.[6]

Final round
Pihlajamäki finished with a win over Karlsson, ending 5–0 with a gold medal due to his previous win over Nemir. Karlsson's loss moved him to 6 points and the bronze medal.[6]
