Sailing at the Summer Olympics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sailing (or yachting) was introduced as an Olympic sport at the 1900 Summer Olympics, in Paris, France, as a men's competition comprising 10 events. Absent in 1904, it has been present at every Summer Olympics since then. Reportedly, it was to be included in the original 1896 games, but light winds forced the event to be canceled.
