  • The 1904 Olympic Games
    Bill Mallon
    The 1904 Olympic Games in St. Louis were both unusual and controversial. One of the major problems for Olympic scholars has been to determine which of the events at these Games were truly of Olympic caliber. The Games were included as part of the World’s Fair, and every athletic contest that took place under the Fair’s auspices was deemed 'Olympic.' These activities included...

  • The 1920 Olympic Games
    Anthony Th. Bijkerk / Bill Mallon
    Until this volume was compiled, the results of the 1920 Olympics held in Antwerp, Belgium, have been far from complete. The Antwerp organizing committee typed up a report of the results almost as an afterthought because it was so financially strapped after the games. For some events only the medalists are listed, with little, if any, additional information. Very few copies w...

  • The 1906 Olympic Games
    Bill Mallon
    One of the early concepts of the Olympic Games was to include 'intercalated' Games every four years between the normal cycle, and to hold these Games in Athens, the ancestral home of the Olympics.

  • The 1912 Olympic Games
    Bill Mallon / Ture Widlund
    The 1912 Olympic Games held in Stockholm, Sweden, were the most 'modern' Olympic Games yet celebrated and the most successful of the Modern Era to that date. Much of the success is credited to the influence of Viktor Balck, who is remembered as 'The Father of Swedish Sports.' The 1912 Olympics also featured new innovations and events. A semiautomatic electrical timing device...

    Bill Mallon / Ture Widlund
    During the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta, much of the world watched and celebrated as athletes broke world records and took home medals, fulfilling their Olympic dreams. The athletes’ scores were available instantaneously and are now easily accessible, but what about the performance records of the first modern Olympic athletes? The Modern Olympic Games began in 1...

  • The 1900 Olympic Games
    Bill Mallon
    The 1900 Olympic Games have been termed 'The Farcical Games.' The events were poorly organized and years later many of the competitors had no idea that they had actually competed in the Olympics. They only knew that they had competed in an international sporting event in Paris in 1900. No official records of the 1900 Olympics exist. Based primarily on 1900 sources, the sit...
