August 1, 1952 · Helsinki, Finland
Bronze medal game, 1952 Olympic Basketball: Uruguay 68–59 Argentina, at Helsinki, Finland on August 1, 1952.
Argentina, having lost to the USA in the medal semifinal the same day, played Uruguay for bronze. CORRECTION (4 Sep 2026): this site's medal-level data previously misidentified this game's loser as France; independent reconstruction of the full schedule confirms it was Argentina — France was already eliminated from medal contention at the second-round stage and played in the separate 5th-8th classification bracket instead, finishing 7th.
