The men's freestyle bantamweight 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 56 kg.[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][5][6]

Pearce had a second consecutive win by decision, adding a second point, while Depuichaffray's loss added 3 points to his previous 1. Of the first-round losers, Zombori and Reid survived; the former won by fall to stay at 3 points while the latter earned a 4th point by winning by decision.

Final round
Pearce's win over Jaskari put all four wrestlers at 4 points. Zombori and Jaskari had not yet faced each other, while Pearce had wrestled both men and won. The bout between Zombori and Jaskari was therefore effectively a silver/bronze bout. Zombori won by decision to take the silver medal.[8][9]
