The 1900 Olympic croquet tournament
At the 1900 Summer Olympics, three croquet events were contested. Seven men and three women participated.
The doubles competition was scheduled first, though it's unclear whether the French pair which won actually 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, naturally won all the medals. This was the only Olympiad where croquet was part of the official programme.
