The 1960 Summer Olympics, also known as the XVII Olympiad, were held in Rome, Italy from August 25th to September 11th. This was the first Olympics where the Olympic Hymn was played. 83 countries participated with over 5,300 competitors, including 610 women. Notable athletes included Paul Elvstrom of Denmark who won his fourth gold in sailing, and Larissa Latynina of the Soviet Union who won six gold medals. There was controversy in the men's 100m race when the finish was too close to call and the head judge changed the results. Spain won a bronze in field hockey but otherwise did not medal.
