Respond to the question below: What was the capacity of the venue ( s ) for the Olympics that were held July 24 to August 9 ? Return your answer as JSON: {"answer": "YOUR ANSWER"}. Base your answer solely on the given information.

The 1900 Summer Olympics ( French : Les Jeux olympiques d'été de 1900 ) , today officially known as the Games of the II Olympiad , was an international multi-sport event that took place in Paris , France , in 1900 . No opening or closing ceremonies were held ; competitions began on 14 May and ended on 28 October . The Games were held as part of the 1900 World 's Fair . In total , 997 competitors took part in 19 different sports . This number relies on certain assumptions about which events were and were not Olympic . Many athletes , among them some who won events , did n't know that they had competed in the Olympic Games . Women took part in the games for the first time , and sailor Hélène de Pourtalès , born Helen Barbey in New York City , became the first female Olympic champion . The decision to hold competitions on a Sunday brought protests from many American athletes , who travelled as representatives of their colleges and were expected to withdraw rather than compete on their religious day of rest . At the Sorbonne conference of 1894 , Pierre de Coubertin proposed that the Olympic Games should take place in 1900 in Paris . The delegates to the conference were unwilling to wait six years and lobbied to hold the first games in 1896 . A decision was made to hold the first Olympic Games in 1896 in Athens and that Paris would host the second celebration . Most of the winners in 1900 did not receive medals , but were given cups or trophies .
The Bois de Vincennes ( French pronunciation : ​ [ bwɑ.d ( ə ) .vɛ̃.sɛn ] ) , located on the eastern edge of Paris , is the largest public park in the city . It was created between 1855 and 1866 by the Emperor Napoleon III . The park is next to the Château de Vincennes , a former residence of the Kings of France . It contains an English landscape garden with four lakes ; a zoo ; an arboretum ; a botanical garden ; a hippodrome or horse-racing track ; a velodrome for bicycle races ; and the campus of the French national institute of sports and physical education . The park is known for prostitution after dark .
The 1904 Summer Olympics , officially known as the Games of the III Olympiad , was an international multi-sport event which was celebrated in St. Louis , Missouri , United States from August 29 until September 3 , 1904 , as part of an extended sports program lasting from July 1 to November 23 , 1904 , located at what is now known as Francis Field on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis . It was the first time that the Olympic Games were held outside Europe . Boxing , the oldest combat sport , was introduced . Tensions caused by the Russo-Japanese War and the difficulty of getting to St. Louis in 1904 may have contributed to the fact that very few top ranked athletes from outside the US and Canada took part in these Games . Only 62 of the 651 athletes who competed came from outside North America , and only 12-15 nations were represented in all . Some events combined the U.S. national championship with the Olympic championship . The current three-medal ( gold , silver , and bronze for first , second , and third places ) format was introduced at the 1904 Olympics .
Francis Olympic Field is a stadium at Washington University in St. Louis that was used as the main stadium for the 1904 Summer Olympics . It is currently used by the university 's track and field , cross country , football , and soccer teams . It is located in St. Louis County , Missouri on the far western edge of the university 's Danforth Campus . Built in time for the 1904 World 's Fair , the stadium once had a 19,000-person seating capacity , but stadium renovations in 1984 reduced the capacity to 3,300 people . It is one of the oldest sports venues west of the Mississippi River that is still in use . Francis Olympic Field now utilizes artificial Field Turf , which can be configured for both soccer and football . Francis Olympic Field was named for former Missouri governor and president of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition David R. Francis in October 1907 . The word Olympic was added in 2019 to reflect its role in the 1904 Summer Olympics .
At the 1904 Summer Olympics , twenty-five athletics events were contested . A total of 74 medals ( 25 gold , 25 silver , 24 bronze ) were awarded . Multi-event competitions , the all-around and triathlon , were introduced . The short steeplechase was lengthened slightly , from 2500 to 2590 metres , while the long steeplechase was dropped . The 5000 metre team race was replaced with the 4 mile team race ( 6,437 m ) . A 56-pound weight throw was added . In all , the 25 events featured in 1904 were 2 more than were held in 1900 .
At the 1904 Summer Olympics , seven cycling events were contested . It was the only time distances based on the mile were used to determine the length of events .
Men 's association football ( soccer ) was contested at the 1904 Summer Olympics . A total of three club teams competed , two representing the United States , both from host city St. Louis , and one representing Canada , from Galt ( now Cambridge ) , Ontario . Originally two other Canadian teams had also been scheduled for the competition , Berlin Rangers and the University of Toronto , but both withdrew before the competition . The 1904 Olympic Games were spread over several months , linked to the St. Louis World 's Fair , and football , in November , was the last sport to be contested . The tournament was played as a straight round-robin , although the game between Christian Brothers College and St. Rose Parish was replayed due to a draw in their first game . Gold medals were awarded at these Olympics for the first time . Galt F.C . ( Canada ) won the gold medal , Christian Brothers College ( United States ) the silver , and St. Rose Parish ( United States ) the bronze . These results are the best that either Canada or the United States have achieved in men 's Olympic football . The 1904 contest is considered to be an official contest by IOC , although not by FIFA because no national teams were involved in the competition .
At the 1904 Summer Olympics of Saint Louis , Missouri , eleven gymnastics events were contested for the first time . The 1904 Games had a program of events spread out over several months , and the gymnastics competition was no different . The International Olympic Committee considers two sets of events as Olympic :
The sport of field lacrosse was played at the 1904 Summer Olympics , which marked the first time that lacrosse had been featured at the Olympic Games . Three teams participated - two from Canada and one from the United States . One of the Canadian teams consisted entirely of Mohawk nation players . The Shamrock Lacrosse Team is more commonly known as the Winnipeg Shamrocks , and is unrelated to the then Canadian champions Montreal Shamrocks . A second American team , the Brooklyn Crescents , was originally slated to round out the field but did not participate . In June , they were ruled to have used professional players that spring ; however , they were still scheduled to play a semi-final against the Shamrocks , but did not show for the match . Recent scholarship has indicated that the lacrosse tournament at the 1904 Games is nowhere near as orderly as presented above -- among other things , the game between Triple A and Mohawk Indians was actually a four-game series , tied at two games apiece , and the Mohawks may not have been an Olympic team at all , but a participant in an indigenous games competition with other tribes .
At the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis , a roque tournament was contested . It was the only time that roque was included in the Olympic program .
Two events in tennis were contested at the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis , United States . The competitions were held from Monday , August 29 , 1904 to Monday , September 5 , 1904 .
At the 1904 Summer Olympics , a tug of war tournament was contested . Six teams from three nations competing , with a total of 30 athletes involved .
At the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis , two weightlifting events were contested .
At the 1904 Summer Olympics , seven wrestling events were contested , all in the freestyle discipline for men . All wrestlers who competed in the 1904 Games were from the United States . It was the first time freestyle wrestling was featured , as the first Olympic wrestling contests had been in the Greco-Roman style . Weight classes also made their first appearance .
The 1908 Summer Olympics , officially the Games of the IV Olympiad , were an international multi-sport event which was held in 1908 in London , United Kingdom from 27 April to 31 October 1908 . These games were originally scheduled to be held in Rome , but relocation on financial grounds followed a disastrous eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 1906 . They were the fourth chronological modern Summer Olympics in keeping with the now-accepted four-year cycle as opposed to the alternate four-year cycle of the proposed Intercalated Games . The IOC president for these Games was Baron Pierre de Coubertin . Lasting a total of 187 days , or 6 months and 4 days , these games were the longest in modern Olympics history ; nowadays , the Games ordinarily last 17 days since 1988 .
The White City Stadium was a stadium located in White City , London , England . Built for the 1908 Summer Olympics , it hosted the finish of the first modern marathon and other sports like swimming , speedway , boxing , show jumping , athletics , stock car racing , concerts and a match at the 1966 World Cup . From 1927 it was a venue for greyhound racing , hosting the English Greyhound Derby until its closure in 1984 . The stadium was demolished in 1985 and the site is now occupied by BBC White City .
At the 1908 Summer Olympics held in London , England , 26 athletics events were contested , all for men only . A total of 79 medals ( 27 gold , 27 silver , 25 bronze ) were awarded . Each nation was allowed to enter up to 12 competitors in most of the events . In the team races ( the medley relay and the 3 mile team race ) , each nation entered one team . The medley relay was run by four athletes , with four alternates allowed . In the 3 mile team race , five athletes from each nation ran with only three counting . The competition was restricted to amateurs , and was held under the rules of the British Amateur Athletic Association .
At the 1908 Summer Olympics , seven track cycling events were contested , all for men only . The weather was poor , with rainfall causing the track to flood on occasion . The track was 660 yards long ( being built around the perimeter of the White City Stadium 's athletics track ) ; some events ( the 660 yards and the team pursuit ) used full laps of the track ; the others used metric distances .
At the 1908 Summer Olympics in London , two diving events were contested , both for men only . The competition was held on Tuesday July 14 , 1908 and Friday July 24 , 1908 .
At the 1908 Summer Olympics , a field hockey tournament was contested for the first time . Six teams entered the tournament : England , Ireland , Scotland , Wales , Germany and France . England won the gold medal , Ireland the silver and Scotland and Wales were awarded bronze medals . All the medals were subsequently credited to Great Britain .
At the 1908 Summer Olympics in London , Great Britain , an official football tournament between national representative selections was contested for the first time : football at the two previous games had been played between club teams . Eight teams entered ( including two from France , the main team and a B side ) , although Hungary and Bohemia withdrew before the start . Denmark 's Sophus Krølben Nielsen set a record by scoring 10 goals in a 17-1 win against France . Great Britain won the gold . Among those representing the Danish team was the famous mathematician Harald Bohr .
At the 1908 Summer Olympics , two gymnastics events were contested . No nation was successful in winning more than one medal .
A field lacrosse game was played between Canada and Great Britain at the 1908 Summer Olympics . The game marked the second appearance of lacrosse at the Olympics , the first being at the 1904 Summer Olympics . Only two teams competed - one fewer than in 1904 . South Africa was slated to send a team but then withdrew prior to the tournament . Both teams held try-outs to select the players to represent their country . The game was tied 9-9 in the fourth period , before Canada scored 5 straight goals to pull ahead . Canada won 14-10 to earn their second of two gold medals , the only lacrosse gold medals given out in the Olympic Games .
Rugby union at the 1908 Summer Olympics . The event was summarised under the Football heading along with association football . The host Great Britain was represented by Cornwall , the 1908 county champion . Defending Olympic champions France withdrew , leaving Australasia , ( represented in rugby by the Australia national team exclusively ) as the only other remaining entrant .
At the 1908 Summer Olympics in London , six swimming events were contested . These were the first Olympic Games in which a 100-metre pool had been especially constructed ( inside the main stadium 's track and field oval ) . Previous Olympic events were swum in open water ( 1896 : The Mediterranean Sea , 1900 : The Seine River , 1904 : an artificial lake ) . Only men participated in the swimming events . The competitions were held from Monday , July 13 , 1908 , to Saturday , July 25 , 1908 . All six of the 1908 events became staples of the Olympic swimming programme , and have been contested at every edition of the Games since . The 50 m , 200 m , and 800 m freestyle events were dropped from the previous edition ( though the 50 m and 200 m would later return ) , the relay was lengthened from 4×50 yards to 4×200 m , and the 400 m breaststroke was shortened to 200 metres . Canada and Finland made their first appearances in swimming , while Austria , Hungary , and the United States continued their streaks of appearing each time . Fourteen nations competed in all , with 100 swimmers entering the events .
At the 1908 Summer Olympics , a tug of war tournament was contested .
At the 1908 Summer Olympics , a water polo tournament was contested .
At the 1908 Summer Olympics in London , nine wrestling events were contested , all for men . There were four weight classes in Greco-Roman wrestling and five weight classes in freestyle wrestling . Greco-Roman reappeared for the first time since the 1896 Summer Olympics , with weight classes for the first time . The number of classes in freestyle was reduced from 7 to 5 , with the light fly , fly , and welterweight classes dropped but the middleweight added . The addition of the 4 Greco-Roman classes brought the total number of events in wrestling up to 9 .
The 1920 Summer Olympics ( French : Les Jeux olympiques d'été de 1920 ; Dutch : Olympische Zomerspelen van de VIIe Olympiade ; German : Olympische Sommerspiele 1920 ) , officially known as the Games of the VII Olympiad , were an international multi-sport event in 1920 in Antwerp , Belgium . In March 1912 , during the 13th session of the IOC , Belgium 's bid to host the 1920 Summer Olympics was made by Baron Édouard de Laveleye , president of the Belgian Olympic Committee and of the Royal Belgian Football Association . No fixed host city was proposed at the time . The 1916 Summer Olympics , to be held in Berlin , capital of the German Empire , were cancelled due to World War I . The aftermath of the war and the Paris Peace Conference , 1919 affected the Olympic Games not only due to new states being created , but also by sanctions against the nations that lost the war and were blamed for starting it . Hungary , Germany , Austria , Bulgaria , and the Ottoman Empire were banned from competing in the Games . Germany did not return to Olympic competition until 1928 and instead hosted a series of games called Deutsche Kampfspiele , starting with the Winter edition of 1922 ( which predated the first Winter Olympics ) . The United States won the most gold and overall medals . The sailing events were held in Ostend , Belgium , and two in Amsterdam , Netherlands .
Nachtegalen Park ( Nightingale Park in ( in Dutch ) ) is a park located in the Antwerp , Belgium municipality of Wilrijk . It served as the archery venue for the 1920 Summer Olympics . During World War II , the park was headquarters for the 89th German Army Corps , then it became command post of the 719th Infantry Division . The park is home to the Atlantic Wall & Air War Bunker Museum .
The 1972 Summer Olympics ( German : Olympische Sommerspiele 1972 ) , officially known as the Games of the XX Olympiad , was an international multi-sport event held in Munich , West Germany , from 26 August to 11 September 1972 . The sporting nature of the event was largely overshadowed by the Munich massacre in the second week , in which eleven Israeli athletes and coaches and a West German police officer at Olympic village were killed by Black September terrorists . The 1972 Summer Olympics were the second Summer Olympics to be held in Germany , after the 1936 Games in Berlin , which had taken place under the Nazi regime . The West German Government had been eager to have the Munich Olympics present a democratic and optimistic Germany to the world , as shown by the Games ' official motto , Die Heiteren Spiele , or the cheerful Games . The logo of the Games was a blue solar logo ( the Bright Sun ) by Otl Aicher , the designer and director of the visual conception commission . The Olympic mascot , the dachshund Waldi , was the first officially named Olympic mascot . The Olympic Fanfare was composed by Herbert Rehbein . The Soviet Union won the most gold and overall medals . The Olympic Park ( Olympiapark ) is based on Frei Otto 's plans and after the Games became a Munich landmark . The competition sites , designed by architect Günther Behnisch , included the Olympic swimming hall , the Olympics Hall ( Olympiahalle , a multipurpose facility ) and the Olympic Stadium ( Olympiastadion ) , and an Olympic village very close to the park . The design of the stadium was considered revolutionary , with sweeping canopies of acrylic glass stabilized by metal ropes , used on such a large scale for the first time .
The Englischer Garten ( German : [ ˈʔɛŋlɪʃɐ ˈɡaʁtn̩ ] , English Garden ) is a large public park in the centre of Munich , Bavaria , stretching from the city centre to the northeastern city limits . It was created in 1789 by Sir Benjamin Thompson ( 1753-1814 ) , later Count Rumford ( Reichsgraf von Rumford ) , for Prince Charles Theodore , Elector of Bavaria . Thompson 's successors , Reinhard von Werneck ( 1757-1842 ) and Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell ( 1750-1823 ) , advisers on the project from its beginning , both extended and improved the park . With an area of 3.7 km2 ( 1.4 sq mi ) ( 370 ha or 910 acres ) , the Englischer Garten is one of the world 's largest urban public parks . The name refers to its English garden form of informal landscape , a style popular in England from the mid-18th century to the early 19th century and particularly associated with Capability Brown .
The 1976 Summer Olympics , officially called the Games of the XXI Olympiad ( French : Les XXIes olympiques d'été ) , was an international multi-sport event in Montreal , Quebec , Canada , in 1976 , and the first Olympic Games held in Canada . Montreal was awarded the rights to the 1976 Games on May 12 , 1970 , at the 69th IOC Session in Amsterdam , over the bids of Moscow and Los Angeles . It was the first and , so far , only Summer Olympic Games to be held in Canada . Calgary and Vancouver later hosted the Winter Olympic Games in 1988 and 2010 , respectively . Twenty-nine countries , mostly African , boycotted the Montreal Games when the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) refused to ban New Zealand , after the New Zealand national rugby union team had toured South Africa earlier in 1976 in defiance of the United Nations ' calls for a sporting embargo . The Soviet Union won the most gold and overall medals .
The Olympic Archery Field , Joliette was a field located in Joliette , Quebec . Approved in 1974 by the International Archery Federation ( FITA ) for use , it hosted the archery competitions for the 1976 Summer Olympics . The site is still in use today . It is run by the Club de Tir à l'Arc de Joliette . The address of the site is : 1505 Boulevard Base-de-Roc , Joliette QC .
The 1980 Summer Olympics , officially known as the Games of the XXII Olympiad ( Russian : И́гры XXII Олимпиа́ды , tr . Igry XXII Olimpiady ) , was an international multi-sport event held in Moscow , Soviet Union , in present-day Russia . The 1980 Games were the first Olympic Games to be staged in Eastern Europe , and remain the only Summer Olympics held there , as well as the first Olympic Games to be held in a Slavic language-speaking country . They were also the only Olympic Games to be held in a communist country until 2008 in China . These were the final Olympic Games under the IOC Presidency of Michael Morris , 3rd Baron Killanin . Eighty nations were represented at the Moscow Games - the smallest number since 1956 . Led by the United States , 66 countries boycotted the games entirely because of the Soviet-Afghan War . Some athletes from some of the boycotting countries ( they are not included in the list of 66 countries that boycotted the games entirely ) participated in the games under the Olympic Flag . The Soviet Union would later boycott the 1984 Summer Olympics . The Soviet Union won the most gold and overall medals , with the USSR and East Germany winning 127 out of 204 available golds .
The Krylatskoye Sports Complex Archery Field is a sports venue located in Moscow , Russia . Located near the Canoeing and Rowing Basin , it hosted the archery competitions for the 1980 Summer Olympics .
The 1984 Summer Olympics , officially known as the Games of the XXIII Olympiad , was an international multi-sport event that was held from July 28 to August 12 , 1984 , in Los Angeles , California , United States ( and other venues around the United States ) . This was the second time that Los Angeles had hosted the Games , the first being in 1932 . California was the home state of then-U.S. President Ronald Reagan , who officially opened the Games . The logo for the 1984 Games , branded Stars in Motion , featured red , white and blue stars arranged horizontally and struck through with alternating streaks . The official mascot of the Games was Sam the Olympic Eagle . These were the first Summer Olympic Games under the IOC presidency of Juan Antonio Samaranch . The 1984 Games were boycotted by a total of fourteen Eastern Bloc countries , including the Soviet Union and East Germany , in response to the American-led boycott of the previous 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow in protest of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan ; Romania was the only Eastern Bloc nation that opted to attend the Games . Iran and Libya also chose to boycott the Games for unrelated reasons . Despite the field being depleted in certain sports due to the boycott , 140 National Olympic Committees took part , which was a record at the time . The United States won the most gold and overall medals , followed by Romania and West Germany . The 1984 Summer Olympics are widely considered to be the most financially successful modern Olympics and served as an example of how to run the model Olympic Games . As a result of low construction costs , coupled with a reliance on private corporate funding , the 1984 Olympic Games generated a profit of more than $ 250 million .
The El Dorado Park neighborhood of Long Beach , California , is on the east side of the city adjacent to the large El Dorado Regional Park . Lakewood is north of El Dorado Park , while Hawaiian Gardens is northeast , and Los Alamitos is east of El Dorado Park . The park is bounded on the east by the 605 Freeway , on the north by the Long Beach Town Center shopping mall , and on the south by Stearns Street . Because of the barrier of the freeway and park between the neighborhood and the rest of Long Beach , as well as the barrier created by near Norwalk Blvd and the Coyote creek and the neighboring cities , the El Dorado Park neighborhood feels quite separate . The regional park sits in a flood zone , and it protects residences from spillover from the neighboring San Gabriel River . Additional undeveloped land south of Willow street near the confluence of Coyote Creek and the San Gabriel River is held by Southern California Edison , and some designated to become part of the park 's Nature Center . The park was developed in 1968 after the land was sold to the City of Long Beach by members of the Bixby family and was financed using bond money floated in the 1950s and '60s , and the varied topography comes from soil removed to construct the San Gabriel Freeway . With a median household income of $ 130,959 , El Dorado Park is reportedly the wealthiest neighborhood in Long Beach .
The 1988 Summer Olympics ( Korean : 서울 하계 올림픽 ; RR : Seoul Hagye Ollimpik [ sʌ.ul ɦaɡje olːimpʰik ] ) , officially known as the Games of the XXIV Olympiad , was an international multi-sport event celebrated from 17 September to 2 October 1988 in Seoul , South Korea . In the Seoul Games , 159 nations were represented by a total of 8,391 athletes : 6,197 men and 2,194 women . 237 events were held and 27,221 volunteers helped to prepare the Olympics . 11,331 media ( 4,978 written press and 6,353 broadcasters ) showed the Games all over the world . These were the last Olympic Games for the Soviet Union and East Germany , as both ceased to exist before the next Olympic Games . The Soviets utterly dominated the medal table , winning 55 gold and 132 total medals . No country came close to this result after 1988 . The games were boycotted by North Korea and its ally , Cuba . Ethiopia , Albania and the Seychelles did not respond to the invitations sent by the IOC . Nicaragua did not participate due to athletic and financial considerations . The participation of Madagascar had been expected , and their team was expected at the opening ceremony of 160 nations . However , the country withdrew because of financial reasons .
The Hwarang Archery Field is an archery field constructed between November 1985 and January 1986 , and then renovated between May and August 1988 . It hosted the archery competitions for the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul .
The 1992 Summer Olympics ( Spanish : Juegos Olímpicos de Verano de 1992 , Catalan : Jocs Olímpics d'estiu de 1992 ) , officially known as the Games of the XXV Olympiad , was an international multi-sport event held in Barcelona , Spain from 25 July to 9 August 1992 . Beginning in 1994 , the International Olympic Committee decided to hold the Summer and Winter Olympics in alternating even-numbered years . The 1992 Summer Olympics was the last occasion for the Summer and Winter Olympics to be staged in the same year . This Olympiad was the first since the end of the Cold War , and was unaffected by boycotts for the first time since the 1972 Olympiad . The Unified Team topped the medal table , winning 45 gold and 112 overall medals .
The Camp Olímpic de Tir amb Arc ( English : Olympic Archery Field ) was a temporary venue located in Barcelona . It hosted the archery competitions for the 1992 Summer Olympics . It was located in a site at the Ronda de Dalt , next to the Pavelló de la Vall d'Hebron , in the Barcelona district of Horta-Guinardó . After the Olympics , it was remodelled into Ciutat Esportiva Municipal Vall d'Hebron-Teixonera ( English : Vall d'Hebrón-Teixonera Municipal Sports City ) , which consists of two football ( soccer ) fields , a rugby field and an annexe service area .
The 1996 Summer Olympics , officially known as the Games of the XXVI Olympiad , commonly known as Atlanta 1996 , and also referred to as the Centennial Olympic Games , were an international multi-sport event that was held from July 19 to August 4 , 1996 , in Atlanta , Georgia , U.S . These Games , which were the fourth Summer Olympics to be hosted by the United States , marked the centennial of the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens - the inaugural edition of the modern Olympic Games . They were also the first since 1924 to be held in a different year from a Winter Olympics , under a new IOC practice implemented in 1994 to hold the Summer and Winter Games in alternating , even-numbered years . More than 10,000 athletes from 197 National Olympic Committees competed in 26 sports , including the Olympic debuts of beach volleyball , mountain biking , and softball , as well as the new disciplines of lightweight rowing and women 's football ( soccer ) . 24 countries made their Summer Olympic debut in Atlanta , including eleven former Soviet republics participating for the first time as independent nations . The hosting United States led the medal count with a total of 101 medals , and the most gold ( 44 ) and silver ( 32 ) medals out of all countries . The U.S. topped the medal count for the first time since 1984 , and for the first time since 1968 in a non-boycotted Summer Olympics . Notable performances during competition included those of Andre Agassi - who became the first men 's singles tennis player to combine a career Grand Slam with an Olympic gold medal , Donovan Bailey - who set a new world record of 9.84 for the men 's 100 meters , and Lilia Podkopayeva - who became the second gymnast to win an individual event gold after winning the all-round title in the same Olympics . The festivities were marred by violence on July 27 , when Eric Rudolph detonated pipe bombs at Centennial Olympic Park - a downtown park that was built to serve as a public focal point for the Games ' festivities , killing 1 and injuring 111 . In 2003 , Rudolph confessed to the bombing and a series of related attacks on abortion centers and a gay bar , and was sentenced to life in prison . He claimed that the bombing was meant to protest the U.S. government 's sanctioning of abortion on demand . The Games turned a profit , helped by record revenue from sponsorship deals and broadcast rights , and reliance on private funding ( as opposed to the extensive public funding used on later Olympics ) , among other factors .
Stone Mountain is a quartz monzonite dome monadnock and the site of Stone Mountain Park near Stone Mountain , Georgia . At its summit , the elevation is 1,686 feet ( 514 m ) above sea level and 825 feet ( 251 m ) above the surrounding area . Stone Mountain is well known for not only its geology , but also the enormous rock relief on its north face , the largest bas-relief in the world . The carving depicts three Confederate figures , Jefferson Davis , Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson , and has been the subject of widespread controversy . Stone Mountain was once owned by the Venable Brothers . It was purchased by the State of Georgia in 1958 as a memorial to the Confederacy . Stone Mountain Park officially opened on April 14 , 1965 - 100 years to the day after Lincoln 's assassination , although the park had been in use for a few years . It is the most visited destination in the state of Georgia . Stone Mountain is more than 5 miles ( 8 km ) in circumference at its base . The summit of the mountain can be reached by a walk-up trail on the west side of the mountain or by the Skyride aerial tram .

The 2004 Summer Olympics ( Greek : Θερινοί Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες 2004 , Therinoí Olympiakoí Agónes 2004 ) , officially known as the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad and commonly known as Athens 2004 , was a premier international multi-sport event held in Athens , Greece , from 13 to 29 August 2004 with the motto Welcome Home . The Games saw 10,625 athletes compete , some 600 more than expected , accompanied by 5,501 team officials from 201 countries . There were 301 medal events in 28 different sports . Athens 2004 marked the first time since the 1996 Summer Olympics that all countries with a National Olympic Committee were in attendance . 2004 also marked the return of the Olympic Games to the city where they began . Having previously hosted the Olympics in 1896 , Athens became one of only four cities to have hosted the Summer Olympic Games on two separate occasions at the time ( together with Paris , London , and Los Angeles ) . A new medal obverse was introduced at these Games , replacing the design by Giuseppe Cassioli that had been used since the 1928 Games . This rectified the long lasting mistake of using a depiction of the Roman Colosseum rather than a Greek venue . The new design features the Panathenaic Stadium . The 2004 Summer Games were hailed as unforgettable , dream games by IOC President Jacques Rogge , and left Athens with a significantly improved infrastructure , including a new airport , ring road , and subway system . There have been arguments ( mostly in popular media ) regarding the cost of the 2004 Athens Summer Games and their possible contribution to the 2010-2018 Greek government-debt crisis , however , there is little or no evidence for such a correlation . The 2004 Olympics were generally deemed to be a success , with the rising standard of competition amongst nations across the world .
The Panathenaic Stadium ( Greek : Παναθηναϊκό Στάδιο , romanized : Panathinaïkó Stádio , [ panaθinaiˈko sˈtaðio ] ) [ a ] or Kallimarmaro ( Καλλιμάρμαρο , [ kaliˈmarmaro ] , lit . beautiful marble ) is a multi-purpose stadium in Athens , Greece . One of the main historic attractions of Athens , it is the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble . A stadium was built on the site of a simple racecourse by the Athenian statesman Lykourgos ( Lycurgus ) c. 330 BC , primarily for the Panathenaic Games . It was rebuilt in marble by Herodes Atticus , an Athenian Roman senator , by 144 AD and had a capacity of 50,000 seats . After the rise of Christianity in the 4th century it was largely abandoned . The stadium was excavated in 1869 and hosted the Zappas Olympics in 1870 and 1875 . After being refurbished , it hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the first modern Olympics in 1896 and was the venue for 4 of the 9 contested sports . It was used for various purposes in the 20th century and was once again used as an Olympic venue in 2004 . It is the finishing point for the annual Athens Classic Marathon . It is also the last venue in Greece from where the Olympic flame handover ceremony to the host nation takes place .
At the 2004 Summer Olympics , the athletics events were held at the Athens Olympic Stadium from August 18 to August 29 , except for the marathons ( run from Marathonas to the Kallimarmaro Stadium ) , the race walks ( on the streets of Athens ) , and the shot put ( held at the Ancient Olympia Stadium ) .

These were the second summer Olympic Games staged in a Communist country , after the Moscow 1980 Summer Olympics and the third in a developing country after the Mexico City 1968 Summer Olympics and the 1980 Summer Olympics in the Soviet Union and the first overall Olympics to be hosted by a Communist state since the former Yugoslavia hosted the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo . Beijing was awarded the 2008 Games over four competitors on 13 July 2001 , having won a majority of votes from members of the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) after two rounds of voting . The Government of the People 's Republic of China promoted the Games and invested heavily in new facilities and transport systems . A total of 37 venues were used to host the events , including twelve constructed specifically for the 2008 Olympics . The equestrian events were held in Hong Kong , making this the third Olympics for which the events were held under the jurisdiction of two different NOCs .

Following a bid headed by former Olympic champion Sebastian Coe and then-Mayor of London Ken Livingstone , London was selected as the host city on 6 July 2005 during the 117th IOC Session in Singapore , defeating bids from Moscow , New York City , Madrid , and Paris . London became the first city to host the modern Olympics three times , having previously hosted the Summer Games in 1908 and in 1948 . Construction for the Games involved considerable redevelopment , with an emphasis on sustainability . The main focus was a new 200-hectare ( 490-acre ) Olympic Park , constructed on a former industrial site at Stratford , East London . The Games also made use of venues that already existed before the bid . The Games received general praise for their organisation , with the volunteers , the British military and public enthusiasm praised particularly highly . The opening ceremony , directed by Danny Boyle , received widespread acclaim throughout the world , particular praise from the British public and a minority of widely ranging criticisms from some social media sites .

Not to be confused with Yumeshima , an artificial island in Osaka Bay Yumenoshima ( 夢の島 , lit . Dream Island or Island of Dream ) is a district in Kōtō , Tokyo , Japan , consisting of an artificial island built using waste landfill . It is not the first such island in the bay ( See Umi-no-mori ja : 海の森公園 ) , however at current fill rates there will be no more room for waste landfill in the bay without affecting shipping lanes by around 2050 , likewise Osaka Bay and Ise Bay also are slowing being consumed by waste landfill islands , e.g . Rinku Town .
