This event was on the Olympic program for only the second time, having been added in 1956. By the time of the Rome Olympics, Mike Troy of the United States had set the last five world records, lowering the mark from 2:19.0 in July 1959 to 2:13.2 set at the 1960 US Trials in Detroit. Although he had lost the 1959 Pan American Games to his countryman, Dave Gillanders, he was heavily favored in Rome and did not disappoint, winning the final easily in another world record time of 2:12.8, with Gillanders placing third, behind Australia's Neville Hayes. Troy later served with the Navy in Vietnam, where he was decorated for valor.
