Keeping with the
theme of photos – The Mirror (UK
The collection has over
200 photos from the Mirrorpix archive, capturing moments such as the 10 Mile
Walk in the White City Stadium at the 1908 London Games, the Opening Ceremony
of the 1984 LA Games where a man in a jet pack whizzed through the air and many
photos from the 1948 'austerity' Games.
If you
have any photos, videos or memories of past Olympics, the Torch relay or this
year's events, add them to the Olympic Collection on Historypin.
Has an ancestor of yours participated in an Olympics? If so, tell us about that person or send a
photo for us to share!
