Amsterdam 1928
 The Olympic Games of

Amsterdam 1928, officially
know as the Games of the
IX Olympiad, were held in
Amsterdam, The
Netherlands from 17 May
to 12 August. There were
3014 athletes ( 2724 men
and 290 women) from 46
countries, competing in 16
sports and 109 specialties.
The Olympic Stadium
Why was chosen Amsterdam?
 In 1916 the Olympic Games were cancelled due to

World War I. In 1919 the Netherlands Olympic
Committee abandoned the proposal of Amsterdam in
favour of their support of the nomination of Antwerp
as host city for the 1920 Summer Olympics. In 1921
Paris was selected for the 1924 Summer Olympics on
the condition that the 1928 Summer Olympics would
be organized in Amsterdam. The decision was
disputed by the Americans, but their request to
allocate the 1928 Summer Olympics to Los Angeles
was without success. Los Angeles was finally selected
as host city for the 1932 Summer Olympics.
The official poster
