Modern Pentathlon 1912 - Finns on the Russian team

1912 Modern Pentathlon

  1. (15.00) Oskar Wilkman-Vilkama (rus-FIN/MPE/1912)
  2. (1.500) Arno Almqvist (rus-FIN /MPE/1912)
  3. (0.960) Gunnar von Hohenthal (rus-FIN/MPE/1912)
  4. (-2.60) Kalle Aejemelaeus (rus-FIN/MPE/1912)

These four athletes probably wanted to represent Finland (there were no other Finnish athletes in the modern pentathlon), but being of the military (most probably officers), they were not allowed to represent any other country than Russia (of which Finland was a part).
