None of the Norwegian swimmers advanced to the finals, with Johnsen's sixth-place finish in his 400-metre freestyle semifinal the best result of the Games.

Ferdinand Bie, who had originally won the silver medal in the pentathlon, was awarded gold after Jim Thorpe was disqualified.

In 2022, in consultation with surviving members of Bie's family, the IOC reinstated Thorpe as the sole winner of the event, as all his competitors had always wanted.

Norway also had two fourth-place finishes, in the triple jump and team cross country.

In the free system even, the Norwegian team took first place to earn the country's first gymnastics gold medal.

(The scoring system was point-for-place in each of the five events, with the smallest point total winning.)

Each of the Norwegian boats found either great success or an utter lack thereof.

The third boat, on the other hand, placed fifth (of six) in both of its two races and did not score a single point.

Seven tennis players, including one woman, represented Norway at the 1912 Games.

Despite a combined record of 1–10 by the Norwegian tennis players, Bjurstedt took a bronze medal after receiving byes through to the semifinals in the women's outdoor singles.
