LocationStade Olympique de Colombes, Colombes
Participants36 from 22 countries
FormatScoring by 1912B point tables.

In an era in which the Olympic decathlon was the only international competition, it was difficult to pick a favorite in 1924. Harold Osborn won the US Olympic Trials and was the US champion in 1923 and runner-up in 1922. Earlier at the Olympics he had won the high jump. His Olympic decathlon victory in Paris makes him the only Olympic decathlon champion to have also won another individual title at the Olympics. Osborn’s teammate, Emerson Norton, was leading thru eight events but stumbled badly in the javelin and 1,500.
