** In 1913, after it had been discovered that James Thorpe had played professional baseball for a minor league team, Thorpe was disqualified for not being an amateur. Hugo Wieslander (SWE) was therefore declared the winner of the 1912 Olympics, he was awarded the Gold medal but refused to accept it.
In 1982 James Thorpe was reinstated by the IOC with Hugo Wieslander as joint winners of the 1912 Olympic decathlon.
The IOC's 2022 decision to reinstate Thorpe as sole gold medallist resulted in there being two silver medallists instead of two gold.
