Kite flying at the 1900 Summer Olympics

Add article description

Kite flying was on the Summer Olympic Games programme in 1900.[1] These events have generally not been classified as official,[2] although the IOC has never decided which events were "Olympic" and which were not.[3] Kite flying events are sometimes classified under ballooning.[4]

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.
