At the Berlin 1936 Games the first official Olympic Basketball tournament was held outdoors on courts made of sand that turned to mud when it rained. Twelve teams compete in both the men’s and women’s competitions, with 12 athletes (five players and seven substitutes) on each team.

Johnny Weissmuller, the first man to swim 100m in under a minute, was just as famous out of the pool. Underwater Swimming featured at the Paris 1900 Games. Competitors earned points for the length of time and distance they were underwater.
