Ferdinand Reinhardt Bie (February 16, 1888 – November 9, 1961) was a Norwegian long jumper. He represented Kristiania IF in Oslo.
At the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm he won the silver medal in pentathlon. On winner Jim Thorpe's subsequent disqualification for professionalism in 1913, Bie was declared Olympic champion. In 1982 Thorpe was reinstated as champion by the IOC; however, Bie was still to be considered co-champion.[citation needed] He also finished eleventh in the long jump, and competed in 110 metres hurdles and decathlon without finishing. [1] He became Norwegian champion in long jump in 1910 and 1917 [2] and in 110 m hurdles in 1910. [3]
