London stepped in to host the event at short notice after Italy, the original host, was devastated by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 1906. Despite this, the Games were a huge success, with the White City Stadium constructed especially for the events and events taking place over a six month period. Team GB dominated the medal table in 1908, winning 145 medals from 110 events, eclipsing the second placed USA by nearly 100 medals.
