The format of the event was such that each thrower threw the shot three times with his right hand and three times with his left hand.
The best distance with each hand was summed to give a total.
Saaristo, who had taken the silver medal in the one-handed event, won the two-handed event, leading a Finnish medal sweep. When the three Finnish throwers made the final, the three agreed to scratch the final and let the results stand, which Olympic officials accepted.
