	1906 Summer Olympics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first Intercalated Games had been scheduled by the IOC in 1901 as part of a new schedule, where every four years, in between the internationally organised games, there would be intermediate games held in Athens.
		When these games turned out less than perfect and were overshadowed by the Exposition Universelle the IOC supported the Greek idea, by granting them a second series of quadrennial games, in between the first series.
		The games excluded several disciplines that had occurred during the past two games; it was unclear whether they ought to have been part of the Olympic Games or of the World Exhibitions.

		The 1928 Amsterdam games were notable for being the first games which allowed females to compete at track and field athletics, and benefited greatly from the general prosperity of the times alongside the first appearance of sponsorship of the games, from Coca-Cola.
		The 1964 Games held in Tokyo are notable for heralding the modern age of telecommunications.
		The games, though lacking the excitement normally associated with Olympic Games, were appreciated for their better than expected quality, from the point of view of their organisation, hospitality, the excellence of the competition, and the image transmitted worldwide.

		Excluded from my list were disciplines that vanished but have since reappeared as Olympic sports, such as tennis; as were so-called demonstration sports that were included in the Games so that the host nation could parade its own favoured sporting activities to the world.
		What we are left with is a list of contenders so odd and indeed silly as to suggest a global game of It's a Knockout rather than the grandest sporting event of them all.
		And then there was the 100m swim from 1896 that was open only to members of the Greek Navy; and croquet from the Paris Games in 1900.

		That Raymond Ewry took part in events which are no longer practised and which therefore play no further part in the Olympic programme should not deflect from the amazing feats he achieved in numerous events from the standing high jump to the standing triple jump.
		In 1906 and 1908 the triple jump was eliminated from the Olympic programme and Ewry had to settle for double victories in the long jump and high jump.
		Finally, the standing events were eliminated from the Games after 1912 - shortly after the inspiring Ewry had retired from the athletics field.
