Although they started in 1896, for the first few decades, at least, the Olympics were months long, and weren't truly international. When did itbecome like the games we see today: almost every country in the world participating and watching too, and when corporations could have a large role in its production too. My guess is 1984, with the LA Olympics, since I hear that it was well presented and the first one to make a profit too.
Don't get me wrong--I love the Olympics and can't wait to watch it again. I'm just curious about its history.
