Baseball
Italy was not very successful at the premiere of Olympic baseball. The Italians lost six of their seven preliminary round games, beating only the host nation Spain. Their 1-6 record tied with that of Spain for seventh and eighth places, the Italians received the advantage in the tie-breaker because of the head-to-head result, barely avoiding last place.
