H\u00e1 duas semanas o palco da nata\u00e7\u00e3o dos Jogos Ol\u00edmpicos deste ano foi apresentado ao p\u00fablico, aos atletas e ao mundo. O moderno Est\u00e1dio Ol\u00edmpico Aqu\u00e1tico, localizado dentro do Parque Ol\u00edmpico do Rio-2016 impressionou pela beleza, arquitetura e infraestrutura. Sem d\u00favida ser\u00e1 uma das arenas que ser\u00e3o lembradas eternamente quando falarmos de nata\u00e7\u00e3o ol\u00edmpica no futuro. Mas voc\u00ea sabe qual foi a primeira piscina constru\u00edda para a realiza\u00e7\u00e3o de uma edi\u00e7\u00e3o ol\u00edmpica? Depois de tr\u00eas disputas em \u00e1guas abertas (em 1896 no mar, em 1900 em um rio e em 1904 em um lago), a organiza\u00e7\u00e3o dos Jogos de Londres-1908 resolveu construir uma piscina tempor\u00e1ria para a disputa ol\u00edmpica.<\/p>\n

Os moldes da piscina dos Jogos de 1908 s\u00e3o surreais em compara\u00e7\u00e3o aos dias de hoje. A piscina de 100 metros de comprimento foi montada dentro do White City Stadium, por\u00e9m, n\u00e3o foi o est\u00e1dio que teve que ser adaptado (como aconteceu com a Kazan Arena no Mundial de Esportes Aqu\u00e1ticos do ano passado). A piscina foi colocada num canto do est\u00e1dio, entre o gramado e as arquibancadas (veja na imagem abaixo). Algo impens\u00e1vel para os dias atuais j\u00e1 que parte do p\u00fablico n\u00e3o conseguiria assistir as provas devido a dist\u00e2ncia f\u00edsica e tamb\u00e9m prejudicaria os patrocinadores que perderiam visibilidade com placas de publicidade afastadas do campo de vis\u00e3o.<\/p>\n

Grande pot\u00eancia na \u00e9poca dos Jogos, o Imp\u00e9rio Brit\u00e2nico detinha col\u00f4nias na \u00c1sia, \u00c1frica e Am\u00e9rica, o Reino Unido resolveu n\u00e3o economizar nos gastos para os Jogos. A come\u00e7ar pelo est\u00e1dio White City onde estava sediada a piscina. Com capacidade para 68 mil pessoas (atingia 110 mil com acentos tempor\u00e1rios) o local, constru\u00eddo na zona leste de Londres, custou 60 mil libras (algo em torno de 6,5 milh\u00f5es de libra ou aproximadamente R$ 33 milh\u00f5es na cota\u00e7\u00e3o atual das moedas) e ainda sediou outras modalidades como atletismo, futebol, h\u00f3quei na grama, saltos ornamentais, polo aqu\u00e1tico e ciclismo.<\/p>\n

Nesta Olimp\u00edada aconteceram apenas seis provas, todas no masculino: 100m, 400m e 1500m livre, 100m costas, 200m peito e revezamento 4x200m livre. Os nadadores brit\u00e2nicos foram os grandes vencedores ao ganharem sete medalhas, sendo quatro de ouro. O atleta da casa, Henry Taylor foi o principal nome da Olimp\u00edada ao conquistar tr\u00eas medalhas de ouro.<\/p>\n

Um dos grandes templos do esporte brit\u00e2nico, o White City Stadium sobreviveu ao longo do s\u00e9culo XX. Nele foram realizadas outros grandes eventos como os Jogos do Imp\u00e9rio Brit\u00e2nico em 1934, corridas de motocross e partidas de futebol do time do Queens Park Rangers. Em 1985 aconteceu a demoli\u00e7\u00e3o do est\u00e1dio e no local foi constru\u00eddo um novo complexo de pr\u00e9dios da emissora de TV BBC.<\/p>\n
