MELBOURNE - STOCKHOLM 1956 Olympic Games Equestrian Sports Attache Badge (0115)

Description

EQUESTRIAN SPORTS IN STOCKHOLM
To allow for the equestrian sports to be held and to avoid the problem of quarantine for horses entering Australia, the Games took place in two different cities (Stockholm and Melbourne), in two different countries (Sweden and Australia), on two different continents (Europe and Oceania) and in two different seasons (June and November). This is the only time in the Games' hundred-year existence that the unity of time and place, as stipulated in the Charter, has not been observed.
