Olympic Competitor nr 696

1900-06-14-16:00? - Pelota - Pelota final - won (8000)

Received first prize without actually having to play, since their French opponents withdrew shortly before the competition. This must be the only instance of Olympic champions being crowned without being actual Olympic Competitors. However, we shall continue to regard the Spanish duo (but not their French "opponents") as Olympians. They are among a small number of Olympians who not actually competed.
