Many events were conducted at what is now known as Francis Field on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis. This was the first time that the Olympic Games were held outside Europe. Tensions caused by the Russo–Japanese War and difficulties in traveling to St. Louis resulted in very few top-class athletes from outside the United States and Canada taking part in the 1904 Games. Only twelve nations were represented. Some events subsequently combined the U.S. national championship with the Olympic championship.The Olympic Summer Games Factsheet http://www.olympic.org/Documents/Reference_documents_Factsheets/The_Olympic_Summer_Games.pdf International Olympic Committee August 5, 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20151016120917/http://www.olympic.org/Documents/Reference_documents_Factsheets/The_Olympic_Summer_Games.pdf October 16, 2015 dead The current three-medal format of gold, silver and bronze for first, second and third place was introduced at the 1904 Olympics. Background After the first two editions of the Olympic Games were awarded to Athens and Paris, the IOC's first open bidding process was held for the 1904 Olympics at the 4th IOC Session in Paris in May 1901. Chicago civic leaders, including University of Chicago president William Rainey Harper, formed the International Olympian Games Association in February 1901 to plan for hosting the Olympics. Shortly before the session began, another American bid was submitted from St. Louis, which was then preparing to host the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, a World's Fair in 1903. At the session, representatives of Chicago offered to put $100,000 (US 100000 1901 eq -3) toward the games. Unable to compete with this, all other countries withdrew their bids before the IOC voted; cities which had previously expressed interest in the 1904 games included Berlin, Copenhagen, and Stockholm. The IOC delegates then voted between the choices of Chicago and St. Louis, with Chicago winning unanimously on May 21.Findling, John E. "Chicago Loses the 1904 Olympics", Journal of Olympic History 12:3, October 2004, pages 24–29."The Olympic Games: Chicago Wins a big Victory by Getting it for 1904", wire service report, via the Salisbury Evening Sun, May 21, 1901, front page.https://archive.org/stream/americanizationo01stea#page/340/mode/2up The Americanization of the World Horace Markley Stead, W. T. 1901 341 However, after St. Louis was forced to postpone its World's Fair from 1903 to 1904, it began planning athletic events that would compete directly with the Olympics in Chicago. The Amateur Athletic Union favored St. Louis and planned to hold its national championships at the World's Fair. In the meantime, Chicago's plans for a new stadium on the shore of Lake Michigan seating 75,000 met considerable opposition from local leaders, including Aaron Montgomery Ward, putting the centerpiece of Chicago's Olympic bid into question. On December 23, 1902, fearing that the dispute would permanently damage the Olympic movement, the IOC asked its members to approve, by a postal vote, the transfer of the Olympic Games to St. Louis. When the votes were tallied, IOC founder Pierre de Coubertin telegraphed the Chicago committee on February 10, 1903, to inform them that the Games had been moved. The Games Highlights Boxing, dumbbells, catch wrestling (which later became freestyle wrestling), and the decathlon made their debuts. The swimming events were held in a temporary pond near Skinker and Wydown Boulevards, where "lifesaving demonstrations" of unsinkable lifeboats for ocean liners took place. One of the most remarkable athletes was the American gymnast George Eyser, who won six medals even though his left leg was made of wood, and Frank Kugler won four medals in freestyle wrestling, weightlifting and tug of war, making him the only competitor to win a medal in three different sports at the same Olympic Games. thumb|left|280px|A tug of war competition at the 1904 Summer Olympics Chicago runner James Lightbody won the steeplechase and the 800 m and then set a natural world record in the 1500 m. Harry Hillman won both the 200 m and 400 m hurdles and also the flat 400 m. Sprinter Archie Hahn was champion in the 60 m, 100 m and 200 m. In this last race, he set an Olympic record in 21.6, a natural record that stood for 28 years. In the discus, after American Martin Sheridan had thrown exactly the same distance as his compatriot, Ralph Rose (39.28 m), the judges gave them both an extra throw to decide the winner. Sheridan won the decider and claimed the gold medal. Ray Ewry again won all three standing jumps.https://www.olympedia.org/editions/3 1904 Summer Olympics Olympediahttps://www.history.com/news/8-unusual-facts-about-the-1904-st-louis-olympics 8 Unusual Facts About the 1904 St. Louis Olympics history.com Evan Andrews August 29, 2014 The team representing Great Britain was awarded a total of two medals, both won by Irish athletes.

Anthropology Days thumb|upright|200px|An Ainu man competing in an archery contest during "Anthropology Days" The organizers of the World's Fair held "Anthropology Days" on August 12 and 13. Since the 1889 Paris Exposition, human zoos, as a key feature of world's fairs, functioned as demonstrations of anthropological notions of race, progress, and civilization. These goals were followed also at the 1904 World's Fair. Fourteen hundred indigenous people from Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, East Asia, Africa, the Middle East, South America and North America were displayed in anthropological exhibits that showed them in their natural habitats. Another 1600 indigenous people displayed their culture in other areas of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (LPE), including on the fairgrounds and at the Model School, where American Indian boarding schools students demonstrated their successful assimilation.https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-1904-olympic-marathon-may-have-been-the-strangest-ever-14910747/ The 1904 Olympic Marathon May Have Been the Strangest Ever Smithsonian Magazine Karen Abbott August 7, 2012 The sporting event itself took place with the participation of about 100 paid indigenous men. Contests included "baseball throwing, shot put, running, broad jumping, weight lifting, pole climbing, and tugs-of-war before a crowd of approximately ten thousand".Parezo, N. J. (2008). p. 59. No women participated in Anthropology Days, though some, notably the Fort Shaw Indian School girls basketball team, did compete in other athletic events at the LPE. According to theorist Susan Brownell, world's fairs – with their inclusion of human zoos – and the Olympics were a logical fit at this time, as they "were both linked to an underlying cultural logic that gave them a natural affinity".Brownell, Susan, ed. (2008). p. 29. Also, one of the original intentions of Anthropology Days was to create publicity for the official Olympic events.Parezo, N. J. (2008). p. 84.Brownell, Susan, ed. (2008). p. 34.
