The Olympic Record | The National Archives

Cycle race Iliffe & Son Coventry, 1893.

For the first time online...

The National Archives presents The Olympic Record - a collection of records on the modern Olympic and Paralympic Games.

This is an excellent collection for anyone interested in sporting culture or the politics of the games. The inclusion of declassified government documents gives us a fascinating, if disturbing, insight into events such as the Black September terrorist attacks at the Munich '72 games and the proposed boycott of Moscow '80 following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
