Why did the number of athletes fall in 1904?
The number of athletes in the 1904 Summer Olympics significantly declined due to several factors, including the location of the Games in St. Louis, which was overshadowed by the World's Fair, leading to logistical challenges and limited international participation. Additionally, the event's timing coincided with the fair, which complicated travel and accommodations for international athletes. Moreover, the lack of promotion and the exclusion of many traditional Olympic sports contributed to the lower turnout. As a result, only a small number of athletes, primarily from the United States, participated in the Games.
