The 1900 Olympic Croquet one-ball singles tournament was held over three rounds on 28 June 1900. Nine athletes from France competed. The event was won by Gaston Aumoitte, with Georges Johin taking second and Chrétien Waydelich third. Background This was the only appearance of the event at the Olympics; it was one of three croquet competitions in 1900. Croquet was also one of the first Olympic sports open to women (only sailing had female competitors before croquet, due to that sport taking place earlier in 1900), with three of the nine players in this event being women. Competition format The competition was a three-round tournament. The top four players in the first round advanced to the second round; the top two in the second round moved on to the final.

Bois De Boulogne
The Bois de Boulogne (, "Boulogne woodland") is a large public park located along the western edge of the 16th arrondissement of Paris, near the suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt and Neuilly-sur-Seine.

Croquet At The 1900 Summer Olympics
At the 1900 Summer Olympics, three croquet events were contested. Seven men and three women participated. The doubles competition was scheduled first, though it is unclear whether the French pair that won had any competition. The one-ball singles was played the next week, followed by two-ball singles the week after. France, which supplied all 10 competitors, therefore won all the medals. This was the only Olympiad where croquet was part of the official programme, though there was the variant called roque at the 1904 Summer Olympics. All events which were restricted to amateurs, open to all nations, open to all competitors, and without handicapping, are now regarded as Olympic events (except for ballooning). Although croquet satisfied three criteria, it had been thought to have an entrant from Belgium, Marcel Haëntjens, (Haëntjens is a Flemish name) and thus have been an international competition. Haëntjens is now known to have been from France, as were the other croquet player ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bronze Medal
A bronze medal in sports and other similar areas involving competition is a medal made of bronze awarded to the third-place finisher of contests or competitions such as the Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games, etc. The outright winner receives a gold medal and the second place a silver medal. More generally, bronze is traditionally the most common metal used for all types of high-quality medals, including artistic ones. The practice of awarding bronze third place medals began at the 1904 Olympic Games in St. Louis, Missouri, before which only first and second places were awarded. Olympic Games Minting Olympic medals is the responsibility of the host city. From 1928– 1968 the design was always the same: the obverse showed a generic design by Florentine artist Giuseppe Cassioli with text giving the host city; the reverse showed another generic design of an Olympic champion. From 1972– 2000, Cassioli's design (or a slight reworking) remained on the obverse with a cu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
