Basque pelota at the 1924 Summer Olympics
Basque pelota was a demonstration sport at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris. It was the second time that the sport was included in the Olympic program; it was an official Olympic sport at the 1900 Games that were also held in Paris. It would be included as a demonstration in another two occasions at the 1968 Games in Mexico City and the 1992 Games in Barcelona.[1]
A court was built at the Porte de Billancourt for the Basque pelota events. The teams of France and Spain were the only participants.
