This animation offers a concise and engaging history of the Olympic Games. It takes us from the nude athletes of ancient Greece — refreshingly free of corporate sponsors — to the budget-breaking spectacle of London 2012. It’s been quite a journey, and perhaps a reminder that, for better or worse, we’re all part of the same story.
