The Greco-Roman featherweight competition at the 1912 Summer Olympics was part of the wrestling programme.

When only three wrestlers remain (the medalists), the double-elimination halts and a special final round is used to determine the order of the medals.

7 wrestlers continued undefeated, 5 won whilst avoiding elimination, and 6 suffered their first loss.

The remaining three were contested by an undefeated wrestler against one facing elimination; in all three the man with one loss received his second.

Leivonen lost his second straight match, completing a sudden drop from one of two undefeated wrestlers to one of 35 who did not make it to the final round, with Gerstacker advancing on the strength of that win.

Lasanen defeated Öberg to join Gerstacker and Koskelo, who had a bye in the seventh round, in the finals.

Koskelo, who had made his way through the first seven rounds unscathed, won again in the final bout against Gerstacker.
