The Olympics 1908

They had some great sports back in the day, the 1900 Paris games featured a swimming obstacle course in the Seine (going over and under obstacles like rowing boats) as well as live pigeon shooting. The easiest gold medal was won in the pairs croquet as only one pair entered.
 
Back in 1908 we had exotic events like city planning in the Olympics too, I think that was axed in the 1930s sadly
