The 1928 Summer Olympics were held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and were the first Games to feature a standardized Olympic flame lit for the duration of the event and a formal parade of nations led by Greece and closed by the host country. Women were permitted to compete in track and field events for the first time, though the level of exhaustion seen after the women's 800 meters led officials to remove the event from the program for several decades afterward. The Games also marked Germany's return to Olympic competition after being excluded from the two previous editions.
