 Brief History Of The Olympic Games
There were several calls for the games to be discontinued at various times but they always managed to keep going and, once they were re-established in 1948 (after a 12-year break), their future seemed assured.
However, since that time they have become much bigger, very much more costly to stage, the subject of many scandals, and often the target of political action (in the form of boycotts and terrorism) so that it is not inconceivable that the future might see them discontinued, or at least modified in some way.
The standard of record-keeping was very variable (from non-existent to good) for the early years of the modern Olympics (1896 to 1932) and only started being consistently good from the 1936 (Berlin) Olympics onwards.
