Bronze 1928 Amsterdam Olympics Medal Sold
The 1928 Summer Olympics hosted over 2,800 athletes from 46 countries across the globe. Some Olympic traditions that are still practiced today began this year, including the Opening Ceremony’s Parade of Nations being led by Greece to pay tribute to the origins of the Olympic games. Another tradition that debuted at the 1928 games was the lighting of a fire to symbolize friendship and unity, a movement inspired by the Olympic games once held in ancient Greece.
