The men's hammer throw at the 2024 Summer Olympics was held in Paris, France, on 2 and 4 August 2024.

At the time the narrow victory over Olympic Champion Wojciech Nowicki may have marked a changing of the guard.

This season Katzberg dominated the top throws, setting a North American record at 84.38m in April and 8 different competitions over 80.

The only other throwers over 80 meters were Nowicki, Fajdek, Halász and Mykhaylo Kokhan, age 23 who threw over 80 five times.

In the third round, Halász pushed Henriksen off the podium with a 79.97m, the Katzberg backed up his first throw with an 82.28m.
