Ascension report, Combined, Open

There were 26 ballooning events at the 1900 Paris Exposition, which were more properly termed exhibitions. They were mixed, with both men and women participating. The events all took place starting at the Aerostation at the Parc de Vincennes in Paris. This event had 43 entrants and the committee chose to give several prizes as a result. First place was shared by Georges Juchmès and Vinot, who both received a silver plaque.
