At the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, six pigeon racing events were contested.[1] These events have generally not been classified as official,[2][failed verification] although the IOC has never decided which events were "Olympic" and which were not.[3]

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.
