This was the first time that the super heavyweight weight class was competed at an Olympics. The event was delayed one day due to the ongoing Munich massacre.

Results[edit]

The results were determined by adding the points for best lifts in military press, snatch and jerk, with any ties broken by the minimum bodyweight.^[1]
