Original score shows the total under the scoring tables used at the time. In 1964, Willi Holdorf and Hans-Joachim Walde represented the United Team of Germany (EUA); their medals are counted separately from West Germany.
In 2022, the IOC recognised James Thorpe as the sole 1912 Olympic decathlon champion. Hugo Wieslander and Charles Lomberg retain silver medals, and Gösta Holmér retains bronze. This accounts for the additional silver medal in the totals.
