At the 1924 Winter Olympics, one individual ski jumping event was contested. It was held on Monday 4 February 1924. The event was unusual, as the bronze medallist was not properly rewarded until 50 years later. Originally, Thorleif Haug was awarded third place, but a calculation error had been made. Upon its 1974 discovery, the medal was awarded to Anders Haugen of the United States.
