Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Spain competed at the modern Olympic Games for the first time at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.

Medalists

Gold medals were given at the 1900 Games. A silver medal was given for second place, and a bronze medal was given for first. The International Olympic Committee has retroactively assigned gold, silver, and bronze medals to competitors who earned 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-place finishes, respectively, in order to bring early Olympics in line with current awards.

Pedro Pidal y Bernardo de Quirós (Marquis of Villaviciosa) got a silver medal in live pingeon shooting, but this event is not recognized by CIO as an official event as the winner was given a money award. Nevertheless, the Spanish Olympic Committee does recognize the medal.[1]
