- Athletics at the 1900 Summer Olympics - Men's 5000 metre team race
The men's 5000 metre team race was the final track & field athletics event at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris. It was the first time, that a team race was held at the Olympics. It was held on July 22 1900. Two teams, from France and a Mixed Team, of five athletes each competed. Stanley Rowley of Australia competed an otherwise British team.
The event consisted of a single heat in which each of the ten runners completed ten laps of the 500 metre track. Runners scored points for their team equal to their place in the race, with the team with the lowest number of points winning.
Medallists
Rimmer and Bennett led the entire way, followed by the first three Frenchmen not far behind. Tysoe and Robinson kept pace with Castanet and Champoudry in the third bunch of runners while Rowley had been injured and began walking following the first lap. Bennett pulled away from Rimmer in the final sprint. After Champoudry finished ninth, Rowley was the only athlete still going and therefore would receive tenth place were he to finish. The race officials decided that it would be pointless for him to walk the final 1500 metres and awarded him tenth place at the end of his seventh lap.
