1896 Summer Olympics This is remarkable, as the Olympics did not, for a long time, allow professional athletes to compete, with the sole exception of fencing. The weightlifting contests are also conducted in the Olympic stadium, with Launceston Elliot of Great Britain and Viggo Jensen of Denmark taking a first and a second place each in the single-hand and double-hand contests. These were the first celebration of the Olympic Games since the recreation of the ancient Greek Olympics with the founding of the International Olympic Committee in 1894. www.gamesinathens.com /olympics/1/18/1896_summer_olympics.shtml   (886 words)

1896 Summer Olympics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia However, the 1900 Summer Olympics were already planned for Paris and, barring the so-called Intercalated Games of 1906, the Olympics did not return to Greece until the 2004 Summer Olympics. The 1896 Summer Olympics, formally called the Games of the I Olympiad, were the first modern Summer Olympic Games and the first Games since Roman emperor Theodosius I banned the Ancient Olympic Games in AD 393 as part of the Christian campaign against paganism. The stadium was used again for the 2004 Summer Olympics. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/1896_Summer_Olympics   (3523 words)

1956 Summer Olympics - Open Encyclopedia Because Melbourne is situated in the southern hemisphere, the Olympics were held later in the year than those held in the northern hemisphere. After being banned from the Olympics in 1948, a team of only West German athletes took part in 1952. Inspired by Australian teenager John Wing, an Olympic tradition begins when athletes of different nations are allowed to parade together at the closing ceremony, instead of with their national teams, as a symbol of world unity... open-encyclopedia.com /1956_Summer_Olympics   (405 words)

1906_Summer_Olympics As the 1904 Summer Olympics were hijacked by the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and as a result met with a fate similar to that of Paris 1900, the Olympic Movement was not in good shape. For 1994 the idea of intermediate games was reintroduced when the cycle for the Winter Olympic Games was shifted two years, resulting in Olympics every two years, with alternating Summer and Winter Olympics. Since the 2nd International Olympic Games in Athens now had become an exception, the personal views of various IOC chairmen caused the IOC to retroactively downgrade the 1906 games, and the explanation for the games became that they had been a 10th anniversary celebration. www.usedaudiparts.com /search.php?title=1906_Summer_Olympics   (1309 words)

GBROLYMPICS.COM / LONDON-OLYMPICS.COM - Olympic Games Medallists The Games are held every 4 years (this period is known as an Olympiad) although an additional "intercalated" event, not officially recognised by the International Olympic Committee, was introduced in 1906. The modern Olympics were first held in 1896. Nevertheless all those competitions reported, at one time or another, as Olympic medal events have been included here for the record, with those no longer regarded as official footnoted. www.gbrathletics.com /olympic   (1309 words)
