Greco-Roman
Denmark sent nine wrestlers in 1912. It was the nation's second Olympic wrestling appearance.Two of the three Danish bronze medalists returned in 1912. Andersen, the middleweight, was not as successful as four years earlier; he lost his first two matches to be eliminated at 26th place. Jensen, on the other hand, matched his prior bronze with another. He won his first three matches before taking his first loss to Saarela. In a loser-out fifth round match against Backenius, Jensen won and advanced to the medal round. There, he again faced Saarela; a second loss to the Finn put Jensen in a match against Olin. The winner of this match would face Saarela in the final while the loser would take the bronze medal. Olin turned out to be too much for Jensen, who finished the tournament with the bronze.
Four other Danes advanced to the fifth round before receiving their second loss and elimination. The team overall went 15-17 in the elimination rounds and 0-2 in the medal round.
