In the Swedish system team competition, there were teams from Denmark, Sweden, and Belgium, and six judges, two each from Denmark, Sweden, and Belgium. The Danish and Swedish judges favored their own teams in the scoring. The Belgian team was obviously not of the class of the two Scandinavian teams, and the Belgium judges did rank them third. However, both Belgian judges preferred the Swedes to the Danes, and Sweden thus won the gold medal.
