# Sweden at the 1900 Summer Olympics

Sweden competed at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris under the IOC country code SWE. It was the second appearance of the European nation. Swedish results are typically separated from those of Norwegian competitors despite the personal union of the two kingdoms.

## Medalists

Gold medals were not given at the 1900 Games. A silver medal was given for first place, and a bronze medal was given for second. The International Olympic Committee has retroactively assigned gold, silver, and bronze medals to competitors who earned 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-place finishes, respectively, in order to bring early Olympics in line with current awards.

### Gold

| Medal | Name | Sport | Event | Date |
| Bronze | Ernst Fast | Athletics | Men's marathon | 19 July |
Also three Swedish athletes, August Nilsson, Gustaf Söderström and Karl Gustaf Staaf, were part of a mixed team with three Danish athletes that won the Tug of War competition.
