time capsule

This is The Games of the V Olympiad Stockholm in 1912. Surviving footages have been assembled and restored by the IOC. It serves more as archives of the competition. With events as old as these, it's important to maintain the limited footages. Some of these athletes have no other films. It's history. The most compelling may be the female divers. 90% of the footage has the male competitors. Women seems to be relegated to the pool and tennis. It's also a little scandalous to have the female form for those early days. I'm guessing this was rarely shown to the public. Other footage includes the gold medal football match. Quite frankly, the footage can be aired in some countries for the football fanatics. Notable oddities are some of the old flags. It's great to see the classic American look. The Canadians have their maple leaf. All in all, this is a piece of history and important as a time capsule.
