Ski jumping at the 1924 Winter Olympics
At the 1924 Winter Olympics, one individual ski jumping event was contested. It was held on Monday 4 February 1924.
The event was unusual in that the bronze medalist was not determined for fifty years. Thorleif Haug was awarded third place at the event's conclusion, but a clerical error in calculating Haug's score was discovered in 1974 by Jacob Vaage, who further determined Anders Haugen of the United States, who had finished fourth, had actually scored 0.095 points more than Haug. The International Olympic Committee verified this, and in Oslo in September 1974, Haug's daughter presented the medal to the 86-year-old Haugen.
