歷屆奧運會回顧：1908年倫敦奧運會

本屆奧運會本應由羅馬來舉辦，因意大利多次爆發地震和維蘇威火山，經濟蒙受巨大損失，1906年羅馬宣布放棄主辦權，改由倫敦舉辦這屆奧運會。1904年，非洲與歐、美大洋洲均有代表，但亞洲缺席。本屆土耳其隊與會，使奧運會首次實現五洲代表聚會，對奧林匹克日益國際化具有歷史意義。

LONDON  1908 Games of the IV Olympiad

　　The 1908 Olympics were originally awarded to Rome, but were reassigned to London. At the Opening Ceremony, the athletes marched into the stadium by nation, as most countries sent selected national teams. Archers William and Charlotte Dod became the first brother and sister medalists. Oscar Swahn, aged 60, was the oldest ever competitor to earn an Olympic gold medal, winning the running deer shooting, single shot.

　　The event that caught the public imagination around the world was the dramatic ending of the marathon. After 42 kilometres (26 miles) of running, the first man to enter the stadium was Dorando Pietri of Italy, but he collapsed on the track five times and was disqualified when officials carried him across the finish line.
