الألعاب الأولمبية الصيفية

^ A: The IOC site for the 1900 Olympic Games^[8] gives erroneous figure of 95 events, while the IOC database for the 1900 Olympic Games^[9] lists 85. Probably this discrepancy in IOC data is consequence that the figure 95 just derived from the "1900 Olympic Games — Analysis and Summaries"^[10] publication of Bill Mallon, who used his own determination of which sports and events should be considered as Olympic.

^ B: The IOC site for the 1904 Olympic Games^[11] gives erroneous figure of 91 events, while the IOC database for the 1904 Olympic Games^[12] lists 94. Probably this discrepancy in IOC data is consequence that the figure 91 just derived from the "1904 Olympic Games — Analysis and Summaries"^[13] publication of Bill Mallon, who used his own determination of which sports and events should be considered as Olympic.

^ C: The IOC site for the 1920 Olympic Games^[4] gives erroneous figure of 154 events, while the IOC database for the 1920 Olympic Games^[14] lists 156.

"ملاحظة: على الرغم من أن الألمبياد أعوام 1916، 1940 ، 1944 ألغي، لا تزال الأرقام الرومانية مستخدمة لترقيم هذه الدورات لأن الترقيم يكون للأولمبياد نفسه وليس للألعاب، وذلك حسب ميثاق الألعاب الأولمبية. وهذا يخالف دورات الألعاب الأولمبية الشتوية حيث ألغي الترقيم في الدورات الشتوية 1940 و1944.
