The United States had one competitor in the first Olympic pentathlon competition. George S. Patton, who would become a famous general during World War II, excelled in the military-influenced set of events. Patton finished in fifth place; he was the only non-Swede among the top seven finishers.

In the shooting competition, contestants could bring their own sidearm. Patton used a Colt revolver.

OOOO-Rahhhh!!!!!!!!!!
