Water_motorsports_at_the_1900_Summer_Olympics
Water motorsport was on the Summer Olympic Games programme in 1900.[1][2] These events have generally not been classified as official,[3] although the IOC has never decided which events were "Olympic" and which were not.[4] As with the official croquet events, some motorboating events satisfied three of four retrospective criteria — restriction to amateurs, open to all nations, open to all competitors and without handicapping. As with croquet, there were only French players. (All other official events met all four criteria.)[3] Motorboating was also included in the 1908 Olympic Games.
