Spain competed at the modern Olympic Games for the first time at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.
Gold medals were not given at the 1900 Games. A silver medal was given for first place, and a bronze medal was given for second. The International Olympic Committee has retroactively assigned gold, silver, and bronze medals to competitors who earned 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-place finishes, respectively, in order to bring early Olympics in line with current awards.
Pedro Pidal, 1st Marquess of Villaviciosa de Asturias got a silver medal in live pigeon shooting, but this event is not recognized by IOC as an official event as the winner was given a money award. Nevertheless, the Spanish Olympic Committee does recognize the medal.[1]
See main article: Basque pelota at the 1900 Summer Olympics.
Spain's first Olympic appearance included a two-man team in pelota. There were only two teams registered for the tournament, however the French duo were unable to attend the game. The French team thus lost by forfeit, and Spain won the gold medal.
