France did not send a team to the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis, United States. However, Albert Corey, who won two silver medals in athletics, is noted in some sources as being of French nationality.[1] The International Olympic Committee is inconsistent with respect to Corey, attributing his silver medal in the marathon to the United States, but shows him as being part of a mixed team with four American athletes in the 4 mile team race.
