...The 1936 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XI Olympiad, was an international multi-sport event which was held in 1936 in Berlin, Germany. Berlin won the bid to host the Games over Barcelona, Spain on April 26, 1931, at the 29th IOC Session in Barcelona (two years before the Nazis came to power). It marked the second and final time that the International Olympic Committee would gather to vote in a city which was bidding to host those Games. The only other time this occurred was at the inaugural IOC Session in Paris, France, on April 24, 1894. Then, Athens, Greece, and Paris were chosen to host the 1896 and 1900 Games, respectively.

Did Hitler really Poison I have been trying to search
for articles on the summer
Olympics held in Germany, that
state that Hitler poisoned
competitors and executed
blacks so that Germany could
take home the most metals.
I'm not sure if this is a
rumour or if this actually
took place.

I wouldn't say that Hitler poisoned athletes or excluded blacks. I doubt it happened. But I will say that he prevented Jewish athletes in Germany from participating in the Games. One such athlete was Margaret Bergmann. One month before the Berlin Ollympics she tied the German women's world record in the high jump. But Bergmann was booted off the Olympic team based on her religion. Her story became the focus of the HBO documentary Hitler's Pawn, aired in 2004. |

Can we compare Berlin 1936 I know this comparison is
maybe abusive, but I'd like to
know how many people share an
opinion most of my friends
have.
Berlin 1936 = Beijing 2008 ?

I don't think so. Did Germany feed 1.3 Billion people? No. China does. |

He was alive and ran the torch into the Olympic stadium in Seoul in 1988. Maybe he still is. Check SLOOC (Soeul Olympic Operating Committee) which was in charge of all things related to the 1988 Olympics - I was stationed at Yongsan at the time and got to watch the black Canadian, Ben Adams win a Gold in track (Later tasken away for steroids) |
