Corsham quiz

[janeevans]

What sport made a solitary appearance in the 1900 Olympic Games.

I think I have found 3.

[pbont]

I agree - I have found 3 as well - equestrian high jump and long jump and some bizarre swimming obstacle race.

Have they got the right Olympic year?

[janeevans]

Yes 1900, but I had cricket, croquet & basque pelota.

[pbont]

I have found those three in the back of my book too under "discontinued sports"

The book is David Wallechinsky's "Complete Book of the Olympics" - also right at the start of the book under 1900 he says "The 1900 games included some unusual one-time events" and then goes on to mention the three I gave.

Logically I suppose those three might not be considered sports in the way the question intends but I agree once more that cricket, croquet and basque pelota only appeared in the 1900 games

Can you query the question with the setters?
