On this special episode of the World's Fair series, we pop out of the timeline to celebrate the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics by bringing you the 1900s World's Fair which doubled as the 2nd Modern Olympics and the first time Paris would hold an Olympic Games. Learn about the first women to compete in an Olympics, the first ever disabled athlete to win a medal who would also be Canada's first ever medalist, and some of the interesting sports that were included in these early modern Olympic Games.
