Officially, the Games from 1924 to 1965 were called the International Silent Games in English or Jeux Internationaux Silencieux in French....
212 athletes from 10 countries (Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Britain, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland and Germany) participated in these Games with sports such as athletics, swimming, diving, football, cycling and tennis. This event took place at the same time as the regular Olympics and people were not really happy about that budget there were not many options either. There is little documentation on these games, even an official report on them is missing.
Notable facts were:
- Countries like Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Czech Republic joined for the first time.
- Ladies were welcomed into Tennis for the first time.
- Germany finished in 1st place with 35 medals (17 gold, 11 silver and 7 bronze). France finished in 2nd place with 33 medals (10 gold, 16 silver and 7 bronze) and Britain finished in 3rd place with 15 medals (4 gold, 3 silver and 8 bronze).
