Angling at the 1900 Summer Olympics

Angling
at the Games of the II Olympiad
The fisherman in the spotlight wears an outfit similar to that of the gymnasts of the time: white shirt and flannel belt; he is also shown in a sporty position. Angling is clearly shown there as a sport equal to others. The member of the jury, in full dark uniform with a top hat, adds to the seriousness of the situation. He conscientiously notes in his notebook the competitor's meager catch.

Angling was contested at the 1900 Olympics in Paris.[2][3][4] At a series of competitions in August, some 600 fishermen, of whom 40 were from five countries other than France, participated in six separate events. These events have generally not been classified as official, although the IOC has never decided which events were "Olympic" and which were not.[5] There was no such designation at the time of the Games.[6] The angling events, officially named Concours international de pêche à la ligne ("International Angling Competition"), were organized as part of the 1900 Universal Exhibition in Paris.[7]

Six heats of 100 anglers took place: Sunday morning for foreigners, Sunday afternoon and two on Monday for non-Parisians, and two on Tuesday for the local fishermen. The first ten anglers of each heat, having taken the most fish, qualified for the "concours d'honneur" (final) on Wednesday.[8]

In many works, it is read that the IOC later met to decide which events were Olympic and which were not. This is not correct and no decision has ever been made. No discussion of this item can be found in the account of any Session.
