Sweden at the 1900 Summer Olympics

Sweden competed at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris[1] under the IOC country code SWE.

Swedish results are typically separated from those of Norwegian competitors despite the personal union of the two kingdoms.

The International Olympic Committee has retroactively assigned gold, silver, and bronze medals to competitors who earned 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-place finishes, respectively, in order to bring early Olympics in line with current awards.

Also three Swedish athletes, August Nilsson, Gustaf Söderström and Karl Gustaf Staaf, were part of a mixed team with three Danish athletes that won the Tug of War competition.

Sweden contributed 3 of the 6 members of the gold medal-winning team in the inaugural tug of war competition.
