I have always enjoyed the Olympics. It was very interesting reading about the start of the modern Olympics and some of the early hurdles to it. Many of the first games had no official rules and had people signing up that day or even joining in a few minutes before! Even in the later years there have been various troubles that have affected the games. With nations having battle of wills and refusing to attend. Then there are the Olympians themselves. Ones who swore they would never be back and were there the next time. Others who proved themselves even without earning a medal.
