Melbourne nearly lost the Olympics to Rome before the games, when IOC president Avery Brundage was not impressed with an inspection in April of 1955. Melbourne was way behind on construction because of financial issues and political debates, but at this point they had managed to get a A$4.5 million loan from the State of Victoria. By 1956 Melborne was clearly ready for the Olympics and the games started as planned.
