SEE PHOTO(s) - COMPLETE ORIGINALNEWSPAPER,theNY Tribune datedMarch 3, 1912. This original newspaper contains a long detailed illustrated inside page report (with photos) of the 1912 Summer Olympics in STOCKHOLM, Sweden.The 1912 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the V Olympiad, were an international multi-sport event held in Stockholm, Sweden, between 5 May and 22 July 1912.Twenty-eight nations and 2,408 competitors, including 48 women, competed in 102 events in 14 sports. With the exception of tennis (starting on 5 May) and football and shooting (both starting on 29 June), the games were held within a month with an official opening on 6 July. It was the last Olympics to issue solid gold medals and, with Japan\'s debut, the first time an Asian nation participated. Stockholm was the only offer for the games, and was selected in 1909.The games were the first to have art competitions, women\'s diving, women\'s swimming, and the first to feature both the decathlon and the new pentathlon, both won by Jim Thorpe. Electric timing was introduced in athletics, while the host country disallowed boxing. Figure skating was rejected by the organizers because they wanted to promote the Nordic Games. United States won the most gold medals (25), while Sweden won the most medals overall (65). These were the final Olympic Games for 8 years due to the disruption of the First World War. The next Olympic Games were held in 1920 (the Summer in Antwerp).Good condition. This listing includes thecomplete entire original newspaper, NOT just a clipping or a page of it. STEPHEN A.
