Athletics Edit

18 athletes represented Denmark in 1920. It was the nation's fifth appearance in athletics, a sport in which Denmark had competed each time the country appeared at the Olympics. Henry Petersen took the country's only medal, a silver in the pole vault. This was Denmark's best ever result in athletics at the time, topping Ernst Schulz's bronze from 1900, and remains tied for best result through the 2008 Games.

All of the Danish wrestlers competed in Greco-Roman wrestling, with none participating in the freestyle competitions. Hansen was the only Dane to win a medal match, taking the heavyweight silver. Eriksen also won a bronze medal, after losing the silver medal match in the only weight class in which no bronze tournament was held. Frisenfeldt reached a silver medal final, while Torgensen reached a bronze match; both lost those matches.
