Swimming at the 1904 Summer Olympics - Men's 50 yard freestyle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The men's 50 yard freestyle was a swimming event held as part of the Swimming at the 1904 Summer Olympics programme. It was the first time the short-distance event was held at the Olympics, and the only time the distance of 50 yards was used. Subsequent editions of the programme would use a distance of 50 metres, though the short sprint would not reappear until the 1988 Summer Olympics.

9 swimmers from 2 nations competed.
