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.
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
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
1896 Athens, 1900 Paris, 1904 St. Louis, 1908 London & 1912 Stockholm.
Bring back tug-of-war to the Olympics!
I agree. Its a sport that targets physical strength. Its so entertaining to watch.
Ti stupisci di quanto possano essere simili ad oggi ma allo stesso tempo diverse le pratiche sportive
Wonderful ! I love the olympic games History !
With a total of 83, the Stockholm Olympic Stadium has seen more athletics world records broken than any other stadium in the world.
Interesting historical film clip - but the music does not fit absolutely to - very annoying.
Absolutely... find a Swedish kid to play something from a Swedish composer on a piano.
Did anyone else notice the guy who just stopped completely at the start 0:45 lol
I feel bad for him, slipping up so much he just gave up ;-;
A 100% Golden vintage video! ☺
Sweden should have the olympic games 2012. 100 years later, epic!
We have come a long way since 1912!
man this is so cool
No film of Jim Thorpe winning his 2 gold medals??
I wish Stockholm could host the summer Olympics again, but it feels like an impossible dream.
Ja men vinter OS kan hända

A maioria nem voltou e fizeram bem, pois logo a seguir entrou o comunismo, então o Nicolau fez um grande favor a eles.
Sweden got 24 gold this year. in 2012 we got 0 :P
Whoever decided to add this music to these videos needs to be fired.
SWEDEN HOST THE SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES IN 1912 IN THE CAPITAL, STOCKHOLM.
Nice song
Back when Sweden was Sweden.
What's the discipline that looks like a gymnastic workout on the grass...

In all of the historic films at school and videos like this, it's all speed up. Why😂
The cameras back then recorded in a special way, which then makes the footage look sped up when you play it back with today's techniques :)
ClashBerry - Tech & Tutorials! ohh mkay that makes sense
1:10 Is this king Gustaf 5th?
It is difficult due to the low resolution, but it does look like him with the distinctive glasses
I assume that all the people seen in this video are dead by now.
Yup, that's so sad when you actually think about it
Back when SWEDEN wa Great!
Well it was dirt poor back then but other than that yeah
Before warrr😢😢😢
