The International Physical Exercise and Sport Competitions (Concours Internationaux d'Exercices Physiques et de Sports ) held in Paris as part of the World Exhibition ( Exposition Universelle et Internationale de Paris ) included competitions in archery that were part of the 1900 Olympic Games (Games of the II Olympiad ) were.
Remarks
The archery competitions consisted of a large number of competitions without international participation. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) assigned six archery competitions to the Olympic program of the Games of the Second Olympiad, because according to Pierre de Coubertin , the founder of the modern Olympic Games , and according to the IOC, international participation is a basic requirement for an Olympic competition.
Archery was a popular sport at the time and was therefore opened with a large parade in which 1723 riflemen took part. 5254 shooters took part in all of the competitions. In the six competitions of the Olympic program, only the names of 17 participants are known, who came from France and Belgium . However, significantly more shooters took part in these competitions. Sports historians put the total number of participants at 153, including athletes from the Netherlands .
The target shooting competitions took place in the old cycling stadium in the Bois de Vincennes , the mast shooting outside the stadium on a grass field. The French and Belgians each won three competitions, but the French took two-thirds of all medal placements.

Non-Olympic competition (officially controversial)
The number of six Olympic competitions determined by the IOC is controversial. In some publications and in the opinion of well-known sports historians (e.g. Bill Mallon ), another competition is added to the program of the 1900 Olympic Games.
The entire archery competition dragged on for three months to August 26th. On the final day, the last target shooting competition was held at 50 m au cordon doré , in which only the best of the previous competitions were allowed to take part. The competition was advertised as a world championship (championnat du monde) , although it was generally believed to be an unofficial title. However, this competition is not considered Olympic by the IOC.
