The [[1900 Summer Olympics]] were held in [[Paris]], France, from May 14 to October 28, 1900, as part of the [[Exposition Universelle (1900)|1900 World's Fair]]. 

A total of 1226&nbsp;athletes representing 25&nbsp;nations participated in 95&nbsp;events in 19&nbsp;sports at these games.<ref name="Paris"/> Women competed in the Olympics for the first time during the 1900 games.<ref name="medal count">{{cite web |title=Paris 1900&ndash;Games of the II Olympiad |publisher=International Olympic Committee |url=https://www.olympic.org/paris-1900 |access-date=2018-05-12}}</ref> 20&nbsp;of the 25&nbsp;participating nations earned medals, in addition to 19&nbsp;medals won by [[Mixed team at the Olympics|mixed team]]s, i.e. teams made up of athletes from multiple nations. The host nation of France flooded the field, comprising over 72% of all the athletes (720 of the 997); given this, the United States dominated athletically, winning the second-most gold (19), silver (14), and bronze (15) medals, while fielding 75 athletes.<ref name="medal count"/>

In the early Olympic Games, several team events were contested by athletes from multiple nations.<ref>{{cite web |title=1896 - Summer Olympics I (Athens, Greece) |publisher=TSN |url=https://www.tsn.ca/olympics/feature/?fid=9337 |access-date=2008-05-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080618213512/http://www.tsn.ca/olympics/feature/?fid=9337 |archive-date=2008-06-18 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Retroactively, the IOC created the designation ''[[Mixed team at the Olympics|Mixed team]]'' (with the [[List of IOC country codes|country code]] ZZX) to refer to these groups of athletes.

This is the full table of the medal count of the [[1900 Summer Olympics]], based on the medal count of the [[International Olympic Committee]] (IOC).<ref name="Paris">{{cite web|url=https://www.olympic.org/paris-1900|title=Paris 1900|publisher=International Olympic Committee|access-date=2018-05-18|quote=NOCs: 24 Athletes: 997 (22 women, 975 men) Events: 95}} The IOC page, "[https://www.olympic.org/paris-1900 Paris 1900]", affirms a total of 95 medal events, which has been the recommendation of Olympic historian Bill Mallon regarding events that should be considered "Olympic". The previous IOC database contained at least ten fewer events. The IOC has never made any decision on which events are Olympic and which are not. In 2016, the IOC obtained the rights to the '' OlyMADMen'' database (at Olympedia.org – the source of the sports-reference.com data), which was created and maintained by Bill Mallon. IOC substituted the OlyMADMen data for the earliest Olympics.
