Sweden at the 1912 Summer Olympics
Sweden at the Olympics
Sporting event delegation
The team of Sweden at the opening ceremony.
Sweden was the host nation for the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm . 444 competitors, 421 men and 23 women, took part in 95 events in 16 sports.[ 2]
Medalists
Athletics
106 or 107 athletes represented Sweden in the sport. Tage Brauer is listed in some sources as having competed and having cleared 1.60 metres in high jump,[ 3] [ 4] [ 5] but other sources make clear he did not start.[ 6] [ 7]
Hugo Wieslander , who had originally won the silver medal in the decathlon, was awarded gold after Jim Thorpe was disqualified. When Thorpe was reinstated in 1982, Wieslander retained his gold medal in the event and became co-champions with Thorpe. In 2022, in consultation with surviving members of Wieslander's family, the IOC reinstated Thorpe as the sole winner of the event, as all his competitors had always wanted.[ 8]
Aside from the 107 athletes listed above Hugo Ahrén, Janne Andersson, Lennart Andrén, Tage Brauer, Carl Frick, Folke Hellstedt, Georg Holmqvist, John Johansson, Erik Larsson, Seth Levin, Josef Lindblom, Filip Löwendahl, Helmer Måhl, Anton Nilsson, Torwald Norling, David Nygren, Carl Silfverstrand, Erik Simonsson, Erik Svensson, Knut Thelning and Tor Österlund were also registered to participate in one or several athletic events, but did not do so.
