The 1908SummerOlympics, officially known as the Games of the IV Olympiad, were held in 1908 in London, England.
However, these have since been retroactively downgraded by the International Olympic Committee and thus the 1908 Games are seen as the start of the Fourth Olympiad, in keeping with the now-accepted four-year cycle.
The 1908Olympics also prompted the establishment of standard rules for sports, and the selection of judges from different countries, rather than just the host.
