*1908 - American John Carpenter won with fellow Americans placing 3rd and 4th in the four-man final, but was then DQed and the race was reran a couple days later.
The other two Americans were outraged and did not run the final, leaving Great Britain’s Wyndham Halswelle as the lone runner, and therefore the Olympic champ. It remains the only final in Olympic history with just one competitor.
