Summer Olympics TV Openers (1964-2024) | Compilation

Copyright (c) International Olympic Committee The Olympic Games are among one of the biggest sporting spectacles in the world, and were normally held once every four years; although, there were times that Games were either cancelled (twice due to World Wars) or rescheduled from its initially intended year (Tokyo 2020 was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic). The first Olympics ever to be staged in the modern era took place in 1896, at Athens, Greece; since the country was the ancient birthplace of the Olympics, Athens was consequently perceived to be an appropriate choice to stage the inaugural modern Games. It was unanimously chosen as the host city during a congress held in Paris, organized by Baron Pierre de Coubertin and took place on 23 June 1894. At that same time, the International Olympic Committee, or the IOC, was established. Despite many obstacles and setbacks, the 1896 Olympics were regarded as a great success, and it had the largest international participation of any sporting event to that date. The Olympics have increased in scope from a 42-competition event programme with fewer than 250 male competitors from 14 nations in 1896, to 306 medal events with 11,238 competitors (6,179 men, 5,059 women) from 206 nations in Rio 2016. — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — 1.
