1908 Summer Olympics
The 1908 Games were originally scheduled to be held in Rome, but were relocated to London on financial grounds following the violent eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 1906, which claimed over 100 lives.
These were the fourth chronological modern Summer Olympics in keeping with the now-accepted four-year cycle. The IOC president for these Games was Baron Pierre de Coubertin. Lasting a total of 187 days (or six months and four days), these Games were the longest in modern Olympics history.
