Did you know that for the first four decades of the modern Olympic Games, medals were awarded not only for athletic competitions but also for fine arts? From 1912 to 1952, artists competed alongside athletes, creating original works inspired by athletic endeavors. These competitions included categories such as painting, sculpture, architecture, literature, and music. The founder of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Baron Pierre de Coubertin, believed that art and sports were intrinsically linked. He envisioned true Olympians as individuals skilled not only in athletics but also in music and literature. Consequently, the Olympics recognized artistic achievements alongside physical prowess during this period. However, as the Games evolved, the focus shifted primarily to athletic excellence, and the IOC Congress decided that the Olympics should be reserved for amateur competitors rather than professionals. Consequently, the fine arts categories were retired from Olympic competition. Ironically, while amateurism waned, the Olympics increasingly opened up to professional athletes, according to historical accounts. Although the fine arts are no longer part of the Olympic program, their legacy remains a fascinating chapter in Olympic history.

Rhododendrons! (Rhodos)
Have you ever tried Rhododendron's juice? These red flowers have healing properties, the one's which grow from 6000 ft to 9000 ft are edible but beyond that it becomes poisonous. As you go higher the colour of flower changes from bright red to pink and later on purple and white beyond 11000 ft.... read more
