100 metres, Handicap, Men

Date	19 July 1900
Status	Olympic (non-medal)
Location	Croix Catelan, Bois de Boulogne, Paris
Participants	32 from 9 countries

There were 32 starters who competed in 15 round one heats that advanced the winners to five semi-final heats. The winners of the semi-final heats started the final. The low handicap man in the final was Indian/British runner Norman Pritchard, who was off a handicap of only 3.0 metres. American Edmund Minahan, however, started at 6.0 metres and it was too much for Pritchard to overcome as Minahan won the final, followed by US runner Bill Holland.

Edmund “Cotton” Minahan had attended Georgetown University and was highly unusual for an Olympian in this era, as he was the first Olympic athlete to later play major league baseball, playing one season as a pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds in 1907, although he only played two games.
