Tsar Nicholas II was so angry that the Russian athletes competing in the 1912 Olympics didn't win any medals that he sent a telegram to Stockholm, informing the Russian Olympic team that he wouldn't pay for their return trip to Russia; they had to get home as best they could. I don't know of any other head of state, in the entire history of the Olympics, who ever did this. As it happened, this was the last Olympics that Russia/the Soviet Union was to participate in until the 1952 Games in Helsinki.
Os melhores jogos até 1940 foram os jogos olímpicos realizados em Berlim ano 1936. Filmados todas as modalidades pela maior cinesta de todos tempos chamada : Leni Riefenstahl. Cineasta galordoada por todo mundo ligado ao campo cinematográfico. Custa reconher a verdade--kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Bring back Tug Of War event! I rather want this than the f**king psychotic fighting sports like boxing. Replaced the park BMX/skateboarding sports with this would be better idea too. Tug of war is way more fun, simple & peaceful
