The Games of the V Olympiad were held in 1912 in Stockholm, Sweden. For the first time, competitors in the Games came from all five continents symbolized in the Olympic rings.
A winter sports week for the 1912 Games featuring figure skating were rejected by organizers because they wanted to promote the Nordic Games, a quattuoroannual sporting event, instead.
