2004 SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES
? The 2004 Summer Olympic Games was a premier international multi-sport event held in Athens, Greece, from 13
to 29 August 2004. 10.625 athletes competed, accompanied by 5500 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. It was also the first time since 1896 that
the Olympics held in Greece.
? Athens was chosen as the host city during the 106th IOC Session held in Lausanne on 5 September 1997. Rome,
Cape Town, Stockholm and Buenos Aires were the other countries Athens defeated in all voting rounds.
? The Athens Games had two mascots: Athena and Phevos. The sister and brother were named after Athena, the
goddess of wisdom, strategy and war, and Phoebus, the god of light and music. They were inspired by the ancient
daidala, which were dolls that had religious connotations as well as being toys.
? The lighting ceremony of the Olympic flame took place on 25 March 2004 in Ancient Olympia. For the first time
ever, the flame travelled around the world in a relay to former, next and later Olympic cities and other large cities,
before returning to Greece.
? The opening ceremony held in 13 August 2004. It began with a 28 second countdown paced by the sounds of an
amplified heartbeat; one second for each country which has organized the Olympic Games with the latest to be
for Greece. It is well-known as the best opening ceremony of Olympic Games that has ever been until today.
? The closing ceremony was also amazing. With an extraordinary performance by Chinese dancers and a music
program with Greek songs and famous Greek singers, Athens closed the 28th Olympic Games.
