The 1922 Women's Olympiad (Jeux Athlétiques Internationaux Féminins and Jeux Olympiques Féminins) was the second^[1] international women's sports event, a 7-day multi-sport event organised by Alice Milliat and held on 15^[2]^[3]– April 23^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7] 1922^[8]^[9] in Monte Carlo^[10] at the International Sporting Club of Monaco. The tournament was formally called "Deuxiéme Meeting International d'Éducation Physique Féminine". It was also the second of three Women's Olympiads or "Monte Carlo Games"^[11] held annually at the venue in Monaco,^[12]^[13] and the second^[14] forerunner of the quadrennial Women's World Games, organised in 1922–34 by the International Women's Sports Federation founded by Milliat in late 1921.

Events

The games were organized^[7] as the previous 1921 Women's Olympiad by Fédération des Sociétés Féminines Sportives de France (FSFSF)^[10] under Alice Milliat^[8] and Camille Blanc,^[2] director^[13] of the "International Sporting Club de Monaco" as a response to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) decision not to include women's events in the 1924 Olympic Games.

The games were attended by 300^[6]^[7]^[9] participants^[8]^[14]^[1] from 7 nations:^[13]^[2] Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Italy, Norway (mentioned by several sources, however no Norwegian athletes appear in the result lists^[4]^[3]), Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The tournament was a huge promotion for women's sports.

The pentathlon event was the first^[15] recorded Women's pentathlon, the 5 events were 60 metres, 300 metres, high jump, javelin, and shot put (the throwing events were two-hand^[15]). Regular women's pentathlon was introduced at the 1934 Women's World Games in London

Events were^[13]^[2] swimming 100 metres, 200 metres and 400 metres, relays and water polo.

The tournament was held partly at the "Stade Nautique du Port" at the Monaco harbour^[12] and partly at the "Tir aux Pigeons"^[14]^[13] in the gardens Les jardins du Casino of the Monte Carlo Casino.^[8]^[11]^[1]
