At the 1900 Summer Olympics, a Basque pelota tournament was contested.

Only two teams entered, from Spain and France, but the French team, which included Maurice Durquetty and Etchegaray, withdrew before the competition: therefore, the tournament was scratched and the Spanish team were awarded first prize.^[1][2]

This is the only Olympics to date where pelota was an official sport, being revived at the 1924, 1968 and 1992 Games as a demonstration sport.
