Which of the following sports was NOT included for women in the 1900 Paris Olympics?

In the 1900 Paris Olympics, soccer was not included as a competition for women, making it the correct answer. This event marked a significant milestone as it was the first Olympics where women were allowed to compete, but the sports offered for their participation were limited.

Tennis, equestrian, and croquet were indeed among the first sports in which women participated during those Games. Tennis, in particular, saw female players competing in singles and mixed events, which laid the groundwork for women's involvement in Olympic sport. Equestrian events also included female participation, as women competed in the riding disciplines, while croquet allowed women to enter as competitors as well.

The absence of soccer exemplifies how certain sports were still considered predominantly men's competitions during that time. It wasn't until later Olympic Games that women's soccer became an officially recognized sport.
