[edit] Waterpolo

I am surprised that the water polo medals are counted in the medal table. The fact that the sport is stated in the Olympic reports is irrelevant to me, since the IOC itself does not recognize this event in their own medal database and medal ranking. Miho NL (talk) 13:09, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

The IOC medal database has plenty of errors around the early Games, even those that were far better organized and documented than the 1904 Games (such as 1908 London). Several other sources claim that 1904 water polo was as "Olympic" as any other 1904 event. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 18:12, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
