Jeu de paume, or game of the hand, has been contested in the Olympics only at London 1908, when the gold medal was won by American Jay Gould. The sport is variously also called court tennis (Britain), real tennis (America), courte-paume (France), and royal tennis (Australia). It is actually the original form of tennis, predating lawn tennis by several centuries. Court tennis is played indoors on a special court, termed a dedans, and there are less than 40 such courts in the world.
The Real Tennis World Singles Championship is still contested annually to this day, the oldest continuous World championship in any sport, having started as far back as 1740.
