Iceland competed in the Summer Olympic Games at the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden. Olympic historians treat Iceland's results separate from those of Denmark despite Iceland's lack of independence at the time.

## Athletics

### Greco-Roman

[edit]

Iceland's Olympic debut also included a wrestler. Pétursson advanced to the fifth round of the light heavyweight competition on the strength of a 3–2 record (making Iceland one of a very few countries to have a winning record in wrestling). He did so despite facing four wrestlers from the dominant Finland team. Pétursson remains the only wrestler to represent Iceland at the Olympics.
