In his Olympic debut in Paris in 1900 , he was second in the team competition of the three-position fight with the army rifle at the side of Ole Østmo , Helmer Hermansen , Tom Seeberg and Olaf Frydenlund . With 4290 points, they were over 100 points behind the winners from Switzerland and twelve points ahead of the third-placed French.

In the other disciplines in which Sæther competed, he placed outside the top ten. In 1908 he won the bronze medal in London with the free rifle in the individual competition behind Albert Helgerud and Harry Simon , while he was Olympic champion in the team competition before Sweden and France . In addition to Sæther, the winning team also included Albert Helgerud, Gudbrand Skatteboe , Olaf Sæter , Julius Braathe and Einar Liberg . Four years later he secured the silver medal in a three-position battle with the team in Stockholm , this time with the army rifle.
