| Date | 31 July – 2 August 1984 — 12:00-15:00-18:00-20:30 (all days) | |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Olympic | |
| Location | Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, California, USA | |
| Participants | 12 from 12 countries | |
| Format | Two groups (A and B). Double elimination tournament within each group. Top 4 in each group advanced to placement matches for 1st-8th place. | |
All the recent World and European champions were unable to compete in 1984 because of the Soviet-led boycott. This opened up the class to Turkey’s Erol Kemah, 1983 World silver medalist, and Japan’s Atsuji Miyahara, 1981 World silver medalist. Miyahara advanced to the final, but Kemah lost two matches in Group B and did not make the classification matches, eventually placing seventh. Miyahara met Mexican Daniel Aceves in the final, winning the gold medal on points, 9-4. Miyahara would return in 1988 at Seoul and win a silver medal in this class. The fifth-place finisher in Los Angeles was Norwegian Jon Rønningen, who would win two consecutive Olympic gold medals in this class in 1988 and 1992.
