Awe-inspiring images of women athletes rope climbing demand attention in this Pathe newsreel, celebrating the sporting achievements of competitors from across the world at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics. The film engagingly captures a range of sports, illustrating the mass scale of the event as well as the more personal achievements of individual athletes, such as Swedish javelin competitor Eric Lemming. The gymnasts at the start of this film were among 48 women competing at the Stockholm games, up from 22 in 1900.

Moving around on that rope ; awesome strength! Thanks for posting.
The pole jumping looked so scary and they could only land in sand jeez
I laughed at the race because everyone started in random positions.
Though the pole vault was hardcore since they only landed on sand!
They started in random positions because it’s long distance short distance is in lanes long distance doesn’t matter where u start cuz u can switch lanes
Interesting. The rope for men seems to be the basis for all bar-apparatuses. Looks like these moves are coming from daily life on ships (Navy).
Wow, the coordination of those humans. Unreal. Modern day human are just half abled by comparison.
So gymnastics was really more of a choreographed workout routine back in the day. Looks like they moved old gymnastics into the pool to become synchronized swimming lol. Also, I'm surprised speed walking is as old as it is and it looked as ridiculous then as it does now lol.
Racewalking was America's favorite sport in the 1870s and 80s. It's got a long history.
Na época os Esportes eram praticados dentro de um Estádio de Futebol não existiam arenas de coberturas naquele tempos.
Mais também era 1912 ainda muito amador.

Hymyilevä Hannes!
Oh I remember this. I can't believe there's actually a video of this. I brought 2 of my grandchildren to watch some of the events.
Happy 110 birthday

Re. the beginning...So is this what "team gymnastics" was a century ago- mass demonstrations of relatively easy moves? I'm not sure I follow... Why is this hard?
This was gymnastics as it was originally intended. Military exercises to build body strength and improve coordination. Done using pure body strength. No springs or mats. just your body, grass, some ropes and old school vaulting horses. Wild huh?
c140075 yup, I get that part. What I'm wondering is if what we see at the beginning was being judged and scored for meddles? Again, the moves seem pretty basic compared to what is involved with "team competition" in the modern era...
@@tominrochester in the modern area they can bounce on the floor, here it s just grass
It is difficult because they are choreographing a large group of people to do these routines. In many ways tho this is actually cool because its outdoors and having large groups can give you more flexibility in what you want to do. Modern gymnastics is amazing but its usually like the same ten moves on any apparatus.
Vinesh phogat 😢
4K is invented?
Dart or Javaline????
Javelin
Very fit and ready for WWI.
What would they think of today's athletes?
Today's athletes are waaaay more advanced, agile fit and stronger.
Due to modern supplements training regiments and personal trainers who are experts in their field.
the ryyytI'm of I don't have to go out and get the best of all the way it is not an option for me to the game and a few days ago when it comes out on the way it should be able too see you the most important thing is I
Watching these videos I always think - wow, these guys had no idea what Olympics is going to evolve into. Look at the tiny stadium. Most of the people in this video didn't even live long enough to see advanced gymnastics starting in 1970's.
Oh, Sweden..snowing as always, even in summer! :)
What seem like snowflakes are actually grains of this ancient and primitive movie reel. After all, these sets of footage were filmed in 1912. Happy and blessed Easter 2024!
Boring, where are the uneven bars
Yeah, women's gymnastics wasn't even an official discipline in the Olympics until 1936.
