The men's pentathlon at the 1906 Olympic Intermediate Games in Athens was decided on April 27 and 28, 1906.
The pentathlon was based on the ancient pentathlon and, like this, contained four athletic disciplines and the Greco-Roman wrestling match.
The following sub-disciplines had to be completed:
- Stand long jump
- Discus throw (greek style)
- Javelin throw
- Stadium run (192 m)
- Greco-Roman wrestling
The scoring was done by adding the place numbers from all competitions. Only the best eight participants were allowed to run in the stadium, and only six athletes were allowed to wrestle.

- Course of the competition
When the field was reduced to eight starters after three sub-disciplines, the Hungarian Mudin was ahead of the two Swedes. The Austrian Scheidl, who was still in second place after the long jump and discus throw, missed the top eight places due to a weak javelin throw.
Mudin was a strong athlete who had his weak point in the subsequent stadium run and was only last there. With second place in the race, the Swede Lindberg moved up to sixth and was able to compete in the wrestling, while the Canadian Archibald slipped down to seventh in sixth place. After the fourth discipline, Mellander took overall leadership for the first time.
Despite his expected victory in the wrestling match, Mudin finally remained one point behind Mellander, who achieved his best individual placement here. With the Swede, the most balanced athlete in the field won. Mellander was not better than third in any sub-discipline, but never worse than seventh (with a full field in the standing long jump).
