- ^ The 1936 official Olympic report has it listed as Josef Kampfl and Alois Edeltitsch as the silver medalists, but information from Olympisch Enzyklopaedie (German), the Austrian Olympic Committee, and Volker Kluge's Olympia Chronik (German) all confirm that the actual silver medalists were Weinstabl and Proisl.
