Background
Athletes, referees, judges, spectators, organisers, volunteers, the media, commercial partners and members of the public experience the Olympic Games as an extraordinary event. Since the first Olympic Games of the modern era were held in Athens, Greece in 1896, the Olympic Movement has consistently worked to improve the organisation of the event, taking into account all aspects of the environment in which it is held.
 
Focus of study
