Olympic Medalists in Pelota

History

Pelota, a Basque sport now better known as jai-alai, was an Olympic event only in 1900, when only two teams competed. Although they represented two countries, Spain, and France, all four players were of Basque descent.

Pelota was also a demonstration sport in 1924, 1968, and 1992.
