Since traveling overseas from Europe was extremely expensive at the time, the competition consisted mostly of Americans and Canadian
34、s. It was the job of the amateur athlete (业余运动员 ) to find his way to the games at his own expense.

35、d there at the same time to display file worlds newest technologies (electricity, automobiles, airplanes, etc. ) Unfortunately, when the games were actually held, they were a disaster.
