History of Paris 1900

The 1900 Olympics Games were held in Paris, France, from May 14 to October 28 as part of the 1900 World's Fair. A total of 997 athletes representing 24 nations participated in 90 events in 16 sports at these games. Women competed in the Olympics for the first time during the 1900 games. The host nation of France dominated the medal count, winning the most gold (26), silver (41), and bronze (34) medals, and therefore winning the most medals overall (101). During the 1900 games, athletes participating in mixed teams won medals in athletics, polo, rowing, sailing, tennis, and tug of war. Some athletes won medals both individually and as part of a mixed team, so these medals are tabulated under different nations in the official counts. Gold medals were not given at the 1900 Games; a silver medal was given for a first place and a bronze medal was given for second. The International Olympic Committee has retroactively assigned gold, silver, and bronze medals to competitors who earned 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishes respectively in order to bring early

Olympics in line with current awards.
