The 1968 Summer Olympic Games were hosted by Mexico City between October 12^th and 27^th. The games were moved to the early fall months to avoid the intense heat of the Central American summer. The games were the first-ever staged in Latin America and the first hosted by a Spanish-speaking country. The 1968 Summer Olympic Games were actually the third hosted in the third quarter of the year and the second in a row following the 1964 Tokyo Games in Japan and the 1956 Games in Melbourne, Australia.
