14. Croquet
Croquet’s sole Olympic appearance in 1900 saw only French competitors and minimal spectator interest.

Croquet was featured as an official Olympic sport only once, during the 1900 Paris Games. The competition was exclusively French, with all ten participants hailing from France. The event attracted minimal attention, with only one spectator—a lone Englishman who had traveled from Nice to attend. This lack of international participation and public interest led to croquet’s removal from the Olympic program. (en.wikipedia.org)
