France at the 1904 Summer Olympics
France did not send a team to the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis, United States.[1] However, Albert Corey, who won two silver medals in athletics, is noted in some sources as being of French nationality.[2] The International Olympic Committee is inconsistent with respect to Corey, attributing his silver medal in the marathon to the United States, but shows him as being part of a mixed team with four American athletes in the 4 mile team race. Corey was a French immigrant to the US, who lived in America.[3][4]
