Where is the medal of Albert Coray from France found in Athletics at the 1904 Summer Olympics in the medals' list ? Khardan 12:59, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

probably as part of the Mixed Team, but I can't confirm that (France did not enter these games as a nation). :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)} 10:08, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nations?

What are the 12 nations that the IOC attributes to these Games? In addition to the nine NOCs that won medals (USA, GER, CUB, CAN, HUN, GBR, GRE, SUI and AUT), what are the other three? Obviously, national teams as we know them today didn't exist, so they are just going by nationality. One report [1] calls Albert Coray in the marathon a "Frenchman, wearing the colors of the Chicago Athletic Association" (page 49), so I would add FRA. (Curiously, the IOC results database shows Coray in the marathon as from USA, but as part of a Mixed Team medal for the 4 mile team race...) The text also mentions South Africa in several spots, so that leaves 1 nation unaccounted for. Any other resouces have an answer? 01:39, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
