Clas Thunberg won five of their medals, achieving a medal in each of the speed skating events he took part in; collecting three gold medals, one silver and one bronze. Eight of the competing nations achieved at least one gold medal, with only Belgium and the hosts, France, medalling without winning a gold medal. One medal was reallocated in 1974; during the games, Thorleif Haug of Norway had been awarded the bronze medal in ski jumping, along with his three gold medals. A Norwegian historian discovered that there had been a scoring error, and an American, Anders Haugen, had actually finished in third place. As Haug had died in 1934, his daughter presented Haugen, aged 83, with his medal.https://nbl.snl.no/Thorleif_Haug Thorleif Haug Norsk biografisk leksikon no Oslo Kunnskapsforlaget Jorsett Per 13 February 2009 20 September 2017 live https://web.archive.org/web/20170921000336/https://nbl.snl.no/Thorleif_Haug 21 September 2017 dmy-all http://www.skisprungschanzen.com/EN/Articles/28-Anders+Haugen%E2%80%99s+belated+bronze+medal/ Anders Haugen's belated bronze medal Ski Jumping Hill Archive 5 January 2006 20 September 2017 live https://web.archive.org/web/20170921000414/http://www.skisprungschanzen.com/EN/Articles/28-Anders+Haugen%E2%80%99s+belated+bronze+medal/ 21 September 2017 dmy-all https://www.nytimes.com/1984/04/19/obituaries/anders-haugen-olympian-medal-was-delayed-50-years.html?mcubz=1 Anders Haugen, Olympian; Medal Was Delayed 50 Years The New York Times AP 19 April 1984 live https://web.archive.org/web/20170920191141/http://www.nytimes.com/1984/04/19/obituaries/anders-haugen-olympian-medal-was-delayed-50-years.html?mcubz=1 20 September 2017 dmy-all In the official report, the classification of nations is ranked not by medals, but rather by "points", which were awarded for each position from first to sixth; not exclusively for gold, silver and bronze.

Italy were also present, in twelfth, for their solitary sixth place.http://library.la84.org/6oic/OfficialReports/1924/1924.pdf "Official Report of the 1924 Olympic Games 1924 International Olympic Committee fr 661 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20160226232716/http://library.la84.org/6oic/OfficialReports/1924/1924.pdf 26 February 2016 dmy-all 14 October 2017 Medal table thumb|right|Clas Thunberg won five speed skating medals at the games for Finland.|alt=A signed black and white photograph of Clas Thunberg skating The medal table is based on information provided by the IOC and is consistent with IOC convention in its published medal tables.
