History Of Summer Olympics

The first Summer Olympics which were also known as the contemporary Olympics were held in Athens, Greece from 6 to 15 in April 1896. Despite many barriers and setbacks, the 1896 Olympics were regarded as a great success. The second Summer Olympics were held in Paris. This event attracted more than four times as many athletes, including 11 women, who were allowed to officially compete for the first time, in croquet(门球), golf, sailing and tennis.

There were fewer athletes in the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis, Missouri, United States because of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition World’s Fair(路易斯安那州购买博览会世界博览会). But the number increased in the 1908 London games. From then, the Games continued to grow, attracting 2,504 competitors, in Stockholm in 1912.
