Weightlifting
Jensen tied Launceston Elliot for weight lifted in the first event, the two handed lift. Prince George of Greece, the judge for the event, determined that Jensen had lifted the 111.5 kilograms in better style than Elliot, awarded the Dane the gold medal. In the second event, the one handed, Jensen's 57 kilograms were not close to Elliot's 71 kilograms and thus Jensen took second place in that event.
| Athlete | Event | Weight | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Viggo Jensen | One hand lift | 57.0 | Шаблон:Silver02 |
| Viggo Jensen | Two hand lift | 111.5 | Шаблон:Gold01 |
