Jósepsson's arm was broken in his semifinal defeat, preventing him from contesting the bronze medal match. Andersen received third place.

[edit] Notes

  1. ^ Jósepsson is listed as Icelandic in the Official Report's detailed listing of wrestling results (Cook, p. 333) but Iceland was not one of the 22 National Olympic Committees present at the Games, and was indeed controlled by Denmark at the time. The wrestler is later listed as Danish in the Official Report's list of competitors (Cook, p. 697).
