Bill Mallon is a cofounder and vice-president of the International Society of Olympic Historians (ISOH) and the original editor of the Journal of Olympic History. He is a surgeon in Durham, North Carolina.“this book provides numerous interesting facts about the poorly documented early years of Olympic history”—<i>Booklist</i>; “the sites, dates, events, athletes and participating countries are listed, together with all the results”—<i>Olympic Review</i>; “even more impressive than the volume on the 1896 Games. Mallon has performed a Herculean task...a clear format accompanied by readable and informative commentary...a must-have”—<i>Journal of Olympic History.</i>
The 1900 Olympic Games have been termed "The Farcical Games." The events were poorly organized and years later many of the competitors had no idea that they had actually competed in the Olympics. They only knew that they had competed in an international sporting event in Paris in 1900. No official records of the 1900 Olympics exist.
Based primarily on 1900 sources, the sites, dates, events, competitors, and nations as well as the event results are compiled herein for all of the 1900 Olympic events, including archery, track and field, cricket, equestrian, fencing, soccer, pelota basque, water polo, and rowing, among other sports.
