	Athens Olympics 2004. ABC Sport.
		But while every Olympic city has a fabulous stadium, nowhere else in the world could events be held at Ancient Olympia - the home of the ancient Games - and the magnificent Panathinaiko Stadium, home of the first Games of the modern era back in 1896.
		After a behind-closed-doors tongue-lashing by Australian Olympic Committee chief John Coates, the team emerged united, but there were plenty of commentators who saw this as simply papering over some pretty obvious cracks.
		Through the prism of history, the Athens Olympics may come to be seen as the Games at which two major trends emerged - the rise of Asian nations as Olympic powers and the time the war on drugs became serious.

		Until 1994, the Winter and Summer Olympics were held in the same year, but in 1986 the International Olympic Committee, which organises the Olympics, decided to separate them, so as to spread costs for all involved parties.
		As with the Ancient Olympics, once the flame has been lit, it is kept burning throughout the celebration of the Olympics, and is extinguished at end of the closing ceremony of the Games.
		The Olympic fire is then extinguished, and the Olympic flag is lowered, folded, and presented to the mayor of the host city of the next Olympic Games.
