Olympiads Revisted

In the run up to the 2012 Summer Olympics in London I wrote a series published each Friday* about the previous Summer Olympiads. I started to list the other Olympics as see also pages at the end of each article but soon realised that was taking up a lot of space to add and time to update as I added a new link to each page each week. Therefore for ease of access here is the complete list that links to all of them.

* Although I ran out of steam in the last 2 weeks before the Games, this was quite an intensive writing exercise.
BTW on the 13 September 2013 I intend to start doing the same in the lead up to the next Winter Olympics, so watch out.
