London 1908. At first this fourth Olympics had been held in Italy but opposed by cities like Milan and Turin to Rome who was hosting the Olympic Games, deterred by the Eternal City for its implementation.
With little time to organize, London accepted the commission, meeting perfectly.
London Olympic Games were the first to be organized by sporting bodies concerned and the first to have an opening ceremony. The parade of athletes, such as games, were not tainted by politics and the Finnish team controversia.El protested Russian control of Finland, many Irish athletes refused to compete as subjects of the British crown and were absent from the games etc.
22 countries and about 2,000 (exactly 1999 of which 36 were female) athletes were present in London. The opening ceremony and most events are held at the stadium Shepherd `s Bush.
In total, competed in 21 sports, among which were new diving, jet skiing and hockey lawn-great sides Atletico lived between Americans and British. The 400-meter final was canceled by the organizers who disqualified the apparent winner, American John Carpenter, for deliberately preventing the passage of Wyndham Halsewelle, United Kingdom. It ordered a new career but the other competitors refused to run
The only error transcendental London olympics 1908, was that despite the opposition of Coubertin, the athletic background played on non-metric distances. Three to six miles (4828 m 9,656 m) replaced the 5 and 10 kilometers.
