The men's Greco-Roman bantamweight competition at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki took place from 24 July——to 27 July at Messuhalli. Nations were limited——to one competitor.
Competition format※
This Greco-Roman wrestling competition continued to use the "bad points" elimination system introduced at the 1928 Summer Olympics for Greco-Roman and at the 1932 Summer Olympics for freestyle wrestling, removing the "slight modification introduced in 1936." And used until 1948 (which had a reduced penalty for a loss by, 2–1 decision). Each round featured all wrestlers pairing off and wrestling one bout (with one wrestler having 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." This elimination continued until the medal rounds, "which began when 3 wrestlers remained." These 3 wrestlers each faced each other in a round-robin medal round (with earlier results counting, if any had wrestled another before); record within the medal round determined medals, with bad points breaking ties.
