Synopsis
King Gustaf V of Sweden inaugurated the Fifth Olympiad at the Olympic Stadium in Stockholm on July 6, 1912. In the following weeks, 2,380 competitors from 27 nations representing six continents participated in well-organized competitions in perfect weather conditions. The largest Olympics yet at the time, the Stockholm Games have thus gone down in history as the Sunshine Olympics, or the Swedish Masterpiece. Since that achievement, and despite numerous attempts by other Swedish cities, Sweden has not yet managed to host the Olympic Games again. This work examines the 1912 Stockholm Olympics from a variety of perspectives, exploring the preparations, organization, competitions, participants, and spectators, as well as the continuing significance of the 1912 Games to Sweden and to the future of the Olympic movement., Examines the 1912 Stockholm Olympics from a variety of perspectives from different academic disciplines, exploring the preparations, organisation, competitions, participants, and spectators, as well as the continuing significance of the 1912 Games to sport Sweden, the future of Olympic movement, and Swedish society., King Gustaf V of Sweden inaugurated the Fifth Olympiad at the Olympic Stadium in Stockholm on July 6, 1912.

- n***r (25)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseIt’s been over a month since I ordered this book and they still haven’t even shipped it. When I contacted them asking when it would be shipped, they made some lame excuse and still have not shipped it when we’re supposed to be shipped within 10 days. When I tried to get my money back, they refused to give it back. Do not buy from this person ever!
- a***i (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseDO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER. The book I ordered took two weeks to arrive. I contacted the seller -- who wrote back, initially, to ask for more information -- and then heard NOTHING. I have no choice but to leave a bad review, as I am unable to get my money back and no longer need the book.
