Jósepsson broke his arm in his semifinal and was forced to withdraw from the bronze medal match; Andersen received third place.
Notes
- ↑ 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 controlled by Denmark at the time. The wrestler is later listed as Danish in the Official Report's list of competitors (Cook, p. 697).
