It was the second appearance of the event. The competition was held on Friday, February 26, 1960 at the McKinney Creek Stadium.

Sweden surprisingly won the gold medal ahead of the Soviet Union who took the first four places in the individual event. Bulgaria were due to have a team, but they did not start the race.
