		Athens 2004 marked the first time since the 1996 Summer Olympics that all countries with a National Olympic Committee were in attendance.
		Athens was chosen as the host city during the 106th IOC Session held in Lausanne in 5 September 1997, after surprisingly losing the bid to organize the 1996 Summer Olympics to Atlanta nearly seven years before, on 18 September 1990, during the 96th IOC Session in Tokyo.
		By July/August 2004, all venues were delivered: in August, the Olympic Stadium was officially completed and opened, joined or preceded by the official completion and openings of other venues within the Athens Olympic Sports Complex (OAKA), and the sports complexes in Faliro and Helliniko.

		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.
