The first modern Olympic Games were held in 1896. There were nine sports: cycling, tennis, gymnastics, swimming, track and field, weighlifting, rowing, wrestling and shooting. Sailing was also to have taken place but had to be cancelled because of the bad weather at sea. At that time, as today, most people were interested in the track and field events in the main stadium
In the first Olympics there were no real team sports. Then, slowly, a few team sports joined the program. Soccer and field hockey were the first team sports introduced into the Olympics in London in 1908. Then in 1936, at the Berlin Olympics, the Germans brought in handball and the Americans had basketball accepted as an Olympic sport

In 1904, at the Olympics in St. Louis, the Americans introduced boxing and won all seven events. Five horseback-riding events were introduced into the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, and Swedish riders won four of them. And in 1964, at Tokyo Olympics, two sports which are very popular in Japan were introduced: judo and volleyball.
