In the early 1920s, radio technology had developed to the point where large-scale public broadcasts were becoming increasingly common. The 1924 Games held in Paris subsequently became the first to transmit live radio broadcasts of Olympic events, although the lack of an international broadcasting standard meant the audience was limited mainly to the home nation.
