The 16th Annual Olympic Games (officially the 16th Olympics) took place in Melbourne in 1956 and the hippo competition in Stockholm, Sweden.

For the first time the Olympic Games took place on the Australian continent. Due to political turmoil, many countries have resigned from sending their representations: Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland - as opposed to the invasion of the Soviet Union to Hungary, Egypt, Iraq and Libya due to the Suez crisis, and the People's Republic of China in protest against the participation in the Games Taiwan team. Because of the inverted seasons in the southern hemisphere, the Games began only in November (the latest in history), and due to the long distances and transport difficulties (a long period of animal quarantine in Australia), horse riding competitions were held in Stockholm half a year earlier. East and West Germany have played in the joint German team under the Olympic flag. For the first time the closing ceremony of the Games took place, during which the athletes marched without division into national teams.
