The men's coxed four competition at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin took place are at Grünau on the Langer See.[1] It was held from 12 to 14 August.[2] There were 16 boats (80 competitors) from 16 nations, with each nation limited to a single boat in the event.[2] The event was won by Germany, the second time the nation had won two consecutive gold medals in the men's coxed four (1900 and 1912 was the first; Switzerland also accomplished the feat in 1920 and 1924). Germany's four gold medals overall was the most any nation won in the event before it was discontinued; four nations (including two German teams, the United Team of Germany and East Germany) won two. Switzerland, which had won three straight medals in the 1920s before not competing in 1932, returned to the podium with a silver medal. Bronze went to France, the nation's first medal in the event since 1924. Both Italy (11th place) and Poland (9th place) had two-Games medal streaks broken.
