The course for jumping was 850 metres in length, with 22 jumps, including one double jump, one triple jump, and one water jump of 4 metres in width. Very little is known about the competition in 1900, which was won by Belgium’s Aimé Haegeman, followed by his countryman Georges Van Der Poele, and France’s Louis de Champsavin. Press reports in 1900 list the medalists with times appearing to determine the placements, so presumably they either all rode cleanly, or tied on faults.
