• The bronze medal won by the team of Omilos Filomouson Thessaloniki (predecessor of Iraklis Thessaloniki F.C.) is registered to Greece. The team was composed by ethnic Greeks, despite the fact that the city was part of the Ottoman Empire at the time.
• A rowing silver medal in the coxed pairs event over 1 mile is classed as a mixed team medal. The Belgian brothers Max and Rémy Orban arrived in Greece without a coxswain, as they didn't know they required one, so they recruited the Greek Theophilos Psiliakos  ( de ). ^[3]
