In the Olympic Games 100 meter race in the 1920s, a long rope was pulled continuously from the starting point to the finishing point. The original intention of this equipment is to prevent athletes from breaking the rules and crossing the line, so that athletes have to step by step in the game, otherwise they will be entangled in that rope carelessly, which is also harmful to their health. The original dangerous design that allowed athletes to step by step was criticized and abolished.

Persson was just a corporal. In order to participate in the Olympic Games, he was temporarily promoted to an officer. However, the Swedish military forgot to replace persson's military cap.

From 65438 to 0956, Melbourne, Australia won the right to host the Olympic Games, which was the first time that the Olympic Games were held outside Europe and America. However, due to Australia's quarantine restrictions on livestock entry, equestrian events in this Olympic Games have become a problem. After many consultations, the IOC decided to change the equestrian events to Stockholm, Sweden, making the16th Olympic Games the only Olympic Games held in two continents. (Author: Nanshan)
