How awesome is it that you're uploading this old footage! 84 years ago that the OS were held in my country, I didn't even know that we once had an OS to host!
This was really neat to watch. I had no idea that Amsterdam actually hosted the Olympics once! However, there's a bit of sadness in watching this too, because it makes me wonder how many of those participants died during WW2, which would begin only 11 years later.
i don't get the weird juxtaposition of classic footage from the twenties w/ generic, modern music. there must be something in the public domain that would mesh with the images more appropriately. having said that, I am glad that the footage is being posted on here at all THNX
No space for it. The Netherlands Is way too small. Especially now with all the new sports. It's very expensive and no room to build stadiums. This was a one time only. But we did introduce the Olympic flame. And that's still a thing. So there is always some Dutch in every Olympic Games
1896 Athens, 1900 Paris, 1908 London, 1912 Stockholm, 1916 Berlin was canceled from World War I. 1920 Antwerp, 1924 Paris & 1928 Amsterdam.

A lot and 5 of the gold winning women gymnastics teams and their coach were murdered in concentration camps...
@@tvdsje How sad. Those poor people had no idea what was ahead of them in the following decade!
I think I read that most of the athletes at the 1912 games had died during WW1
The great Canadian Percy Williams Gold in 100m and 200m . True legend in Canada!
I like watching old footage like this! And I love that there are facts and stats in the description! :D

my favorite part about your channel is when you upload stuff like this. :)
The sports seem so different now! It's amazing to see what it used to be like! London 2012 - best games yet
Another first. The first ever 400m running track.
Beijing 2008 - the most spectacular and memorable Olympics ever! While it no match) I think Rio 2016 will not fail !

They need to bring back the Can-Can as a competitive event.
Wow!
