In the free method team competition, there were only two teams entered: a Danish and a Norwegian team. The two judges, Clod Hansen of Denmark and Johannes Dahl of Norway, were from the same nations and their scores differed widely. Hansen and Dahl marked their own teams about equally, but Hansen scored Norway quite low, giving the championship to Denmark. Although teams were supposed to consist of 24 to 60 athletes, Denmark had only 20 starters, for unknown reasons.
