This athlete was born in Scotland and only moved to Canada in 1901. After 1904 he returned to Europe, and only permanently went to Canada in 1923. So he might be considered British. However, separate Canadian citizenship was created only in 1946, and any British subject who lived in Canada would be entitled to represent Canada, even if rules had been stricter. I shall continue to class him as Canadian.

The only repeat winner of the Modern Pentathlon was very lucky in 1952. The first horse that he'd drawn turned out lame, but the second one was the best horse in Finland. And then he turned up 20 minutes late for the shooting, but the competition hadn't started yet because of some Soviet protests.
He also became World Champion in 1950 and '51.

There is little option but to award this competitor the nationality of Zimbabwe.

J. Haller

Olympic Competitor nr 7237

There were 22 and 23 competitors in the individual Running Deer competitions, and probably a maximum of 5 shooters per country. 4 teams (of 5) competed in the team event, so there are at least 2/3 unknown competitors in the individual events, most probably Belgians (there was no Belgian team in the team competition). J Haller is known to have competed in the Olympic shooting, but it is not known in which event. I have chosen to put his name in this slot.

According to the web-site for the Slovakian Olympic Committee, he was born in Slovakia, but they do not call him Slovakian.  Considering he died in Budapest and his first names are definitely Hungarian, he should be counted as an Hungarian.
At 50 yards at St-Louis, the judges could not agree on the result of the final, so a second race was swam. Charles Daniels came third.
He also won silver at 100 m at Athina in 1906.
The 100 m event at Paris is not listed in all sources, but seems to have been a separate, official event (Information supplied by the IASF, according to the Hungarian authors) The event is notably completely absent in Mallon.
Since Halmay was among the medals in the shortest event in all Olympics between 1900 and 1908, he certainly merits the extra 25% for the 100 meters.
