The Games of the II Olympics were held in 1900 in Paris, France. Despite Greek efforts to keep the Games in their country, the IOC decided to hold them at a different place each year. The Games competed for visitors with the World's Fair, which was also held at Paris at the same time.

Highlights
- Alvin Kraenzlein won 60m, 110 and 220m hurdles, and the long jump; as of 2003, these four gold medals are still a record for a track and field athlete. For his victory in the long jump, he was allegedly punched in the face by his rival Meyer Prinstein, who had refused to take the final run due to his religious beliefs, as that run was scheduled for a Sunday.
- Charlotte Cooper (tennis) was the first woman to become Olympic champion.
