Military exercise was contested at the 1900 World's Fair alongside the program of the 1900 Olympic Games.[1]
According to Olympedia, a database of Olympic Games results created by historians including Bill Mallon,[2] the event doubled as the 1900 annual feast of the Union des sociétés d’instruction militaire de France. It was entered by 80 clubs across a variety of sports and exercises, with prizes awarded for clubs' overall performance, as well as performances in three different sections (Preparatory Military Training, Complementary Military Training and Free Exercise).[3] Military exercise is not considered, like many events at the 1900 World's Fair, to have been officially Olympic.
