The 2024 Olympics may feature the top swimmers, runners and gymnasts - but what about the long forgotten games of the 20th century?
Some Olympic sports are rooted in tradition, dating back to the first games in 1896 such as cycling, fencing and gymnastics.
Others are newer inclusions such as skateboarding and surfing, which made their first appearance in 2020, and breaking, which debuted this year.
But there are some sports that had a fleeting feature in the early 20th century before being pushed out because they simply weren't sporty enough or were too tricky to judge.
Tug of War
This game of strength featured at the Olympics from 1900 to 1920 with teams of five to eight.
The rules were pretty simple. Two lines were drawn on the ground, roughly four to five metres apart. The aim being to drag the other team over the line, or force them to fall over.
Countries could enter more than one group, leading to the United States winning all three medals in 1904 and 1908.
In the final Olympic competition, the British team took home the gold medal, beating out the United States, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Roque
The 1904 Olympics games in St. Louis, Missouri in the United States was the one and only time Roque was played.
Taking its name from the European sport, croquet, Americans created their own version called, roque.
Croquet involves hitting balls with a mallet through hoops in grass. The key difference between the two was that roque had tighter, smaller hoops for the ball to be hit through.
In the 1904 games only the United States participated.
Plunge For Distance
Another one hit wonder, plunge for distance saw a diver jump from a standing position at a height of 46 centimetres (18 inches) without a diving board to see who could jump the furthest.
The jump was measured after the diver had spent 60 seconds under water or as soon as their head rose to the surface.
The aim was to travel the furthest without moving their bodies.
Featured in the 1904 games, William Paul Dickey of the United States won the contest with a jump of 19.05 metres (62 feet and six inches). The other competitors were also from the United States.
Swimming 200m Obstacle Event
In the Paris 1900 Olympics, Australian swimmer, Frederick Lane, took the gold for the obstacle course swimming event.
Swimmers needed to swim over a pole and a row of boats and swim under another row of boats.
Twelve swimmers from five countries competed.
Underwater Swimming
Again in the Paris 1900 Olympics, swimmers had a limit of 60 metres to swim and got a point for every second they were underwater and two points for every metre they swam underwater.
Competitors swam in the Seine river, with France taking home both the silver and gold medals.
Long Jump and high Jump - With Horses
Making its debut at the 1900 games, competitors jumped, long and high, on horseback.
In the equestrian long jump, the initial challenge was to clear a distance of 4.50 metres, which all contestants managed to clear.
The winner was a Belgian army officer called, Constant van Langhendonck and his horse, Extra Dry, who cleared 6.10 metres.
France and Italy shared the gold medal for high jump.
The Running Deer
A shooting fixture from 1908 to 1924, the running deer saw shots fired at a deer-shaped target, with the shooter standing roughly 100 metres away.
The fake deer moved sideways across a 20 metre wide opening.
At it's debut at the London 1908 games, Sweden's Oscar Swahn won gold at 60 years old.
Art Competitions
From 1912 to 1948, the Olympics featured artistic competitions in categories such as architecture, literature, music, painting and sculpture.
Works had to have never been exhibited anywhere else.
In 1949, the International Olympic Committee got rid of the category as most were professional not amateur artists.
