 This year's Games of the 33rd Olympiad will mark the historic first time that the Stoyd Athletic Contest takes place in a truly Islamic nation. Said the president of the International Olympic Committee, we couldn't be more excited and more terrified. This is a historic milestone for the Games. We're honored to have them taking place in a Muslim country now for the very first time. The beautiful architecture, the vibrant culture, the constant threat of violent knife attacks and mass murders, all of it makes for a wonderful experience here.
