Fascinating videos show how some Olympic sports have evolved from 1912 to 2020

Here is a series of fascinating “Then and Now” videos presented by The Olympics that show us how some of the Olympic venues have evolved from the 1912 Stockholm Games to the 2020 Tokyo Games.

While the technology and mechanics of the sport have changed, the basic premise has remained largely the same. The biggest difference is the Women’s 10m High Dive, which in 1912 simply involved running off a platform and diving.

Witness the evolution of technique, precision and athleticism as divers from different eras compete for Olympic glory. This video celebrates the rich history of diving while showcasing the incredible advances and innovations that have taken place over the last century.

I always enjoy watching the Olympics and it’s really interesting and beautiful to look back and see what it was like over 100 years ago.

Enjoy the videos!
