Ku sii qor faqradan - Ka dib guushii ciyaarihii Olimbikada ee 1896, ciyaarihii Olimbikada waxay galeen xilli hakad ah oo halis gelisay jiritaankooda. Ciyaaraha Olombikada ee lagu qabtay Bandhigga Paris ee 1900 iyo Bandhigga Iibsiga Louisiana ee St. Louis ee 1904 ma aysan soo jiidan kaqeybgal badan ama dareen. 650 ciyaartooy oo ka qeyb galay Olombikadii 1904, 580 waxay ahaayeen Mareykan; kii ku guuleystay orodka dheer
waxaa markii danbe laga saaray tartanka kadib markii la helay sawirkiisa isagoo saaran baabuur inta lagu guda jiray tartanka. Ciyaaruhu waxay dib ugu soo laabteen ciyaarihii 1906 ee Intercalated (oo loo yaqaan sababta oo ah waxay ahaayeen Olombikadii labaad ee lagu qabtay Olombikadii saddexaad), oo lagu qabtay Athens. Ciyaarahaan ayaa soo jiitay dadweyne caalami ah oo kala duwan waxayna abuureen xiiso weyn oo dadweyne ah, taasoo calaamad u ah bilowga kor u kaca labadaba caannimada iyo baaxadda Olombikada. Ciyaarihii 1906 waxaa si rasmi ah u aqoonsaday IOC waqtigaas (in kasta oo aysan hadda sii jirin), ma jirin Ciyaaro Isku-dhafan oo la qabtay tan iyo markaas.
