	Intercalated Games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The series of Intercalated Games was to always be held in Athens.
		All of the games would be International Olympic Games; the difference was just that half of them would follow De Coubertin's idea of organising them in different countries to make the Olympic Movement more international, while the other half would follow the Greeks' idea of a permanent home with the Greek NOC as experienced organisers.
		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 anniversay celebration.

		If the 1896 Athens Games breathed life into the modern Olympic movement, the disastrous Olympics of 1900 in Paris and 1904 in St. Louis all but smothered it through poor organization and public indifference.
		The International Olympic Committee was cool to the idea, but de Coubertin and the IOC reached a compromise: the 1906 Games would not be deemed an official Olympics.
		Other American track and field standouts were Martin Sheridan with shot put and standard discus golds, Ray Ewry who continued his incredible string of Olympic victories with gold medals in the standing long and high jumps, and Archie Hahn, the triple-gold sprinter from 1904 who won again in the 100m.

		When Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire, the Olympic Games were seen as a pagan festival threatening Christian influence, and in 393 the emperor Theodosius outlawed the Olympics, ending a thousand year period of Olympic Games.
		It is important to note that the ancient olympic games did not include the carrying of a torch, nor was a symbol made up of rings included.
		Although originally the IOC recognized and supported these games, they are currently not recognized by the IOC as Olympic Games, which has given rise to the explanation that they were intended to mark the 10th anniversary of the Modern Olympics.

		One of the early concepts of the Olympic Games was to include “intercalated” Games every four years between the normal cycle, and to hold these Games in Athens, the ancestral home of the Olympics.
		Occurring only two years after the St. Louis Games of 1904 and two years before the London Games of 1908, the Athens Games were considered by many not to be “official”; social and political forces prevented continuation of the intercalation cycle in 1910 and later.
		Yet these Games were surprisingly successful and helped guarantee the survival of the modern Olympics.
