The 1960SummerOlympics, officially known as the Games of the XVII Olympiad, were held in 1960 in Rome, Italy.
Rome had been awarded the organisation of the 1908SummerOlympics, but, after the 1906 eruption of Mount Vesuvius, had to decline and pass the honours to London.
It was the second time an athlete died in competition at the Olympics, after the death of Portuguese marathon runner Francisco Lazaro at the 1912SummerOlympics.
The winter Olympics were begun in 1924 and were held in the same year as the summer games until the 1994 winter games in Lillehammer, Norway, when the alternating cycles began.
The 1992Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, reflected a changed political landscape: the 172 participating nations and territories included the Unified Team (with athletes from 12 former Soviet republics), a reunited Germany, and South Africa, which was allowed to compete for the first time since 1960.
The Olympic games are competitions of individual athletes, not of nations, and the IOC does not keep national scores; however, the media of all nations report national standings according to one of two scoring systems.
