They were held in Athens, Greece from August 13 to August 29, 2004 with the motto Welcome Home. 10,625 athletes competed, from 201 countries and there were 301 medal events in 28 different Olympic sports. Athens 2004 was the first time since 1896 that the Summer Olympic Games were held in Greece. A new medal obverse was introduced at these Games, replacing the design by Giuseppe Cassioli that had been used since the 1928 Games. This rectified the long lasting mistake of using a depiction of the Roman Colosseum rather than a Greek venue. The new design features the Panathinaiko Stadium. The 2004 summer games were hailed as \"unforgettable, dream games\" by IOC president Jacques Rogge, and left Athens with a significantly improved infrastructure, including a new airport, ring road, and subway system. However the costs of staging the games have left the host country in a precarious financial situation."@en . . . . "Summer Olympics"@en . . . . "Athens 2004"@en . . . . . . . .
