[edit] Results

Thorpe's gold medal was stripped by the International Olympic Committee in 1913, after the IOC learned that Thorpe had played professional baseball, violating Olympic amateurism rules, before the 1912 Games. This moved everyone else up in the rankings. In 1982, the IOC was convinced that the disqualification had been improper, as no protest against Thorpe's eligibility had been brought within the required 30 days and reinstated Thorpe's medals. Bie, Donahue, and Lukeman, however, were declared to still be gold, silver, and bronze medalists, respectively. This made Thorpe and Bieco-champions.

[edit] 1500 metres

The tie between Donahue and Lukeman was broken by calculating each athlete's score on the decathlon table, originally deciding between a bronze medal and fourth place. Donahue won, 3475.865 points to 3396.975 points, to take the bronze medal. Thorpe's disqualification in 1913 resulted in Bie being awarded the gold medal, while Donahue and Lukeman moved up to silver and bronze, respectively. When Thorpe's results were reinstated 70 years later, his gold medal status was returned while the other three athletes kept their upgraded placings—resulting in two gold medalists.

[edit] Notes

1. ^ ^{a b} Distances for these two Germans are unknown. Since all other athletes' places are known, Waitzer and von Halt took 22nd and 24th places, though which took which place is unknown.
2. ^ Waitzer's distance in the javelin throw is also unknown, though it was less than 33.36 metres as he finished in last place.
3. ^ ^{a b} Von Halt's score from the first event is either 22 or 24 points, giving him a total of 32 or 34. If it is 22, von Halt would be placed 18th, between Menaul (17th) and Ericson (19th). If it is 24, von Halt is tied at 20th with Kröjer, and Ericson is placed 18th.
