The Riding event commenced on August 26 at Passo Corese. The event was an equestrian cross-country mix steeplechase race. 20 minutes before the event, the competitors were paired with their horses that they would ride through a random draw. The points the competitors received from the event were given based on the time it took to complete the course. The competitors would receive a penalty for whenever they knocked over one of the obstacles, these penalties would be subtracted from the riders final total, giving them their 'adjusted points'.[2]

The Fencing event commenced on August 27 at the Palazzo dei Congressi. The event was contested as a single touch épée round-robin style tournament. Each contestant would receive points for every bout they won, their points would accumulate for every win.[3]

The Shooting event commenced on August 28 at Umberto I Shooting Range. The event was contested as a 200 shot, rapid fire pistol contest. The points for each competitor in the event was given as a result of the score they received from their targets. If a competitor didn't receive a high enough score, they wouldn't gain any points from the contest.[4]

The Swimming event commenced on August 30 at the Stadio Olimpico del Nuoto. The event was contested as a 300-metre freestyle swim. The points the competitors received were based on the time it took them to complete the race.[5]
