The , officially known as 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.
It was also the last time that solid gold medals were awarded; modern medals are usually gold coated silver. The main arena was
Stockholms Olympiastadion .
A winter sports week for the 1912 Games featuring figure skating were rejected by organizers because they wanted to promote the
Nordic Games , a quadrennial sporting event, instead.
