[edit] Notes

1. ^ ^{a b} This medal shared with Great Britain.
2. ^ Saint-Aignan was chosen as a replacement for Renaud, who withdrew after placing 5th in semifinal B.
3. ^ ^{a b} Thiébaut and Guillemard both placed 4th-6th in quarterfinal B, competing in quarterfinal F as a second chance to advance after three fencers withdrew.
4. ^ ^{a b} There were two fencers with the surname Thomeguex.
5. ^ ^{a b} Two fencers named Dizier competed.
6. ^ ^{a b} Two fencers named Lézard competed.
7. ^ The IOC lists this swimmer as "Cadet". Mallon gives the first initial as "M.", counting this swimmer as distinct from Victor Cadet. De Wael argues that Victor Cadet is the swimmer who competed for Tritons Lillois.
