The 1912 Summer Olympics were held in Stockholm, Sweden, and were the first Games to use electronic timing devices and a public address system. American athlete Jim Thorpe won both the pentathlon and decathlon, a feat that led King Gustav V of Sweden to reportedly call him the greatest athlete in the world, though Thorpe was later controversially stripped of his medals over an amateurism dispute before being posthumously reinstated decades afterward. The 1912 Games were the last Olympics before a twelve-year gap caused by the First World War and the cancelled 1916 Games.
