In Hollywood you can see things at night that are fast enough to be in the Olympics in the day time -- Will Rogers

History of Olympics

        

        At the first Olympic Games in 1896, the winners were awarded a silver medal and an olive branch. The first Berlin Olympic Games of 1936 were the first to be broadcasted on television. To accommodate equestrian events, the 1956 Olympic Games were held in two different countries – Sweden and Australia. 

                 Romania’s Nadia Comaneci was the star of the Montreal Olympics in 1976 when she became the first gymnast in Olympic history; to be awarded the perfect score of 10. At every Olympic Game, Greece traditionally leads the parade and the host team appears last. From the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, demonstration sports were eliminated.
