Cannon shooting at the 1900 Summer Olympics

Cannon shooting was contested in the 1900 Olympic Games in Paris.[1][2] It consisted of 17 events, all for men. Only French competitors participated. In later years the IOC deemed the events of the 1900 Olympics to be either official or unofficial. Cannon shooting was regarded as unofficial.[3] There was no such designation at the time of the Games.
