Men's Sailors 100 meter Freestyle
The 100 meter freestyle event for sailors, was only open to sailors of the Greek Royal Navy. Only three competitors took place in the event. The winner was from Greece (of course!) and the winning time was nearly a minute slower than the winner of the open 100 meter freestyle. It is an interesting concept for the host team to include this event so as to increase their medal count.
