Croquet at the 1900 Summer Olympics – Singles, one ball

The 1900 Olympic Croquet one-ball singles tournament was held over three rounds on 28 June 1900.

The event was won by Gaston Aumoitte, with Georges Johin taking second and Chrétien Waydelich third.

Croquet was also one of the first Olympic sports open to women (only sailing had female competitors before croquet, due to that sport taking place earlier in 1900), with three of the nine players in this event being women.

The third woman, Desprès, finished the round with 24 points but did not advance among the top four.

Waydelich, in third place, is now considered by the International Olympic Committee to be a bronze medalist.
