This is not correct and no decision has ever been made. No discussion of this item can be found in the account of any Session.}}</ref> In fact, Pierre de Coubertin had ceded that entire determination to the organizers. The IOC webpage for the 1900 Summer Olympics affirms a total of 95 medal events.<ref name=IOC1900 />{{ref label|A|note1|e}} Weightlifting and wrestling were dropped since the [[1896 Summer Olympics]], while 12 new sports were added.{{efn|Swimming and water polo are considered to be two disciplines within a single sport of ''aquatics'' in the Olympic context.}} Among the sports below, only croquet was not an international competition, being contested by French players only.
