Olympic anniversary: 100 years of Innovation

The 1912 Olympics in Stockholm were revolutionary for the Olympic Games and for sports in general in many ways. Not only was it the first Olympics with participants from all five continents, but several technical innovations first saw the light of day here, as did new ideas that expanded the games even further. The spirit of innovation has been a central theme throughout the history of Sweden.
