Cross-Country, Team

1912

Antwerpen 1920

Although all runners in the individual race potentially counted towards the team score, fourth and later finishers for a team did not count and did not even take away points from later finishers of other teams. Belgium's third runner finished 36th but counted as 21st in the score. Therefore, I do not award points to those later finishers of a team.
