		In fact, there was little indication that the Olympics were happening at all: The word Olympic failed to appear on a single event program, and the Games took place from May to October alongside non-Olympic sporting events.
		Cricket, croquet, golf and tug of war all made their Olympic debuts in Paris, and were soon to exit the Olympic stage, along with one of the most curious of all Olympic events: the obstacle swimming race.
