Boules at the 1900 Summer Olympics

Boules was on the Summer Olympic Games programme in 1900.[1][2] In later years the IOC deemed each event of the 1900 Olympics to be either official or unofficial. Boules was regarded as unofficial. As with the official sport of croquet, boules 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]
