Archery

See main article: article and Archery at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Denmark has qualified a spot in men's individual archery.

Athletics

See main article: article and Athletics at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Danish athletes have so far achieved qualifying standards in the following athletics events (up to a maximum of 3 athletes in each event at the 'A' Standard, and 1 at the 'B' Standard).[1] [2] Joachim Olsen originally claimed a bronze medal in men's shot put. On 5 December 2012, the International Olympic Committee and the IAAF stripped off Ukrainian shot putter Yuriy Bilonoh's gold medal after drug re-testings of his samples were discovered positive. Following the announcement of Bilonoh's disqualification, Olsen's medal was upgraded to a silver.[3]
