The ski jumping event held at the 1924 Winter Olympics was unusual, as the bronze medallist was not properly rewarded until 50 years later. Originally, Thorleif Haug had been awarded third place, but a calculation error had been made, which was discovered in 1974. The winner of the competition Jacob Tullin Thams also won a silver medal in Sailing at the 1936 Summer Olympics, he is among very few athlets to win both a winter and a summer olympic medal.
