1944 Summer Olympics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The anticipated 1944 Summer Olympics, what were to be officially known as the Games of the XIII Olympiad, were cancelled due to World War II. They were to have been held in London, England by a decision of the IOC in June 1939. London eventually held the Olympics in the next Olympiad, the 1948 Summer Olympics.
In spite of the war, the IOC organized many events to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of its foundation at its headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland.
