The first Olympiad of modern times was celebrated in Athens in 1896, and subsequent Olympiads and Games are numbered consecutively from that year, even though it has been impossible to hold the Games in any Olympiad. 3 The Olympic Games are held every four years. They assemble Olympic competitors of all nations in fair and equal competition. No discrimination in them is allowed against any country or person on grounds of race, religion or politics. 4 The direction of the Olympic Movement and the control of the Olympic Games and the Olympic Winter Games are vested in the International Olympic Committee whose constitution and powers, and whose Rules and Regulations, are contained in this book. The honour of holding the Olympic Games is entrusted to a city and not to a country or area. The choice of a city for the celebration of an Olympiad lies solely with the International Olympic Committee.
