I was reading an article that contained a passing reference to a Communist Party-sponsored workers' olympics meant to serve as an alternative to the official games. It seems that it was a moderately significant event, with 400 athletes participating (compared to 1300 in the LA Olympics of the same year). Details are sketchy, though. There is a journal article I am unable to access full text of and just a few casual references here and there online. Does anybody have any info on this? Where were the events held?
