Denmark competed at the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo, Norway.
Background
Denmark joined the modern Olympic movement at the beginning, participating in the first modern Games, the 1896 Summer Olympics.[1] The National Olympic Committee and Sports Confederation of Denmark was formally recognized by the International Olympic Committee on 1 January 1905.[2] Denmark has sent a team to every Summer Olympic Games except the 1904 St. Louis Olympics, and they first participated in the Winter Olympic Games in the 1948 St. Moritz Olympics.[1] These Oslo Olympics were therefore their second appearance at a Winter Games.[1] The 1952 Winter Olympics were held in Oslo, Norway from 14–25 February 1952; a total of 694 athletes representing 30 National Olympic Committees took part.[3] Denmark was represented in Oslo by a single figure skater, Per Cock-Clausen,[4] who carried the Danish flag in the opening ceremony.[1]
Figure skating
Per Cock-Clausen was 39 years old at the time of these Oslo Olympics, and had previousily represented Denmark at the 1948 Winter Olympics.[5][6] At the 1948 Winter Olympics he had come in 16th and last place in the men's singles event.[7] The men's singles here in Oslo were held over 19–21 February 1952.[8] The rankings were determined by ordinal placement by judges, with the compulsory figures being worth 60% of the final result, and the free skating portion worth 40%.[8] On 19 February, Cock-Clausen finished tenth in the compulsory figures, his highest ranking by any judge was ninth, and his lowest ranking was fourteenth four of fourteen skaters.[9] In the free skating portion, held two days later, he received fourteenth place marks from six out of nine judges, and this was his ranking for the final portion of the competition.[10]
