Passes the threshold "immediate failure" criteria: No cleanup banners, no obvious copyright infringements, etc. Shearonink ( talk) 17:02, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
Just a thought - Are there any reports of what the weather was like during the competition or how big the crowds were or what the river was like? I would think that the Seine's river-currents would have been exhausting to swim in, much less have to "play" multiple games of water-polo in that river. I think that adding some of the conditions (was it polluted? was the water cold? what was the ambient air temp like?) would add some interest. And yes, I understand how difficult it can be to source information about sports competitions from over 100 years ago - I've worked on a cycling article that had competitors from the 1800s in it. If this isn't possible then I understand, but I think it is intriguing...like how difficult it is to swim across the English Channel (like some of the water-polo athletes) because of the challenging conditions.
