Early Olympic Games allowed for individuals in a team to be from different nations. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) groups their results together under the mixed team designation (IOC code ZZX). There were also mixed teams at the 1906 Summer Olympics in Athens, now called the Intercalated Games and no longer considered as an official Olympic Games by the International Olympic Committee. During the 1906 Intercalated Games two teams comprising international members won medals in different events.

Rowing

The Belgian Orban brothers arrived in Greece without a coxswain, as they didn't know they required one, so they recruited a young Greek called Theophilos Psiliakos.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Denmark national football team results (1908–1929)</span>

This is a list of the Denmark national football team results from 1908 to 1929.

At the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens, an unofficial football event was held on 12 April between two representative teams of Greece and Denmark at the Podilatodromio. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) does not recognize the existence of an official football tournament at the 1896 Olympics and the majority of works devoted to the 1896 Olympic Games do not actually mention a football competition; however, there is incontrovertible evidence that the aforementioned match was played as either a part of the (unofficial) programme, or as a "demonstration sport" during the Olympic Games.
