Olympic Football Tournament (St. Louis 1904)
(From 16-11-1904 to 23-11-1904) * NOTE: Football was merely a demonstration sport in St. Louis 1904 (with games of two halves that lasted only 30 minutes each) and no medals were officially awarded (although the tournament winners, Galt FC, did receive a commemorative gold medal after their last game). However, in an effort to reconcile the early Olympiads with the modern games, the IOC (International Olympic Committee) currently credits the countries represented by the three participating teams with gold, silver and bronze medals, according to their final classification. |
