The Olympics of Grace ((イタリア語:Olimpiadi della Grazia)) was an international multi-sport event for women that was held from 29–31 May 1931 in Florence, Italy. Primarily composed of track and field events and contested by women from eleven European countries, the competition was a forerunner to women's participation in the European Athletics Championships.〔(Olympiad of Grace ). GBR Athletics. Retrieved on 2014-01-11.〕 The formation of the International Women's Sports Federation (FSFI) and the hosting of the 1921 Women's World Games in Monte Carlo, led by Alice Milliat, marked the growth of organised international women's sport.〔Gori, Gigliola (2004). ''(Italian Fascism and the Female Body: Sport, Submissive Women and Strong Mothers'' (pg. 154) ). Routledge. 978-0714682914.〕 The Grand Council of Fascism in Italy was partly encouraging of the movement but stated that, regardless of sporting prowess, motherhood was a woman's most important role.〔(Lo Sport ) . La Donna nel Fascismo. Retrieved on 2014-01-11.〕 Women's engagement in sport fitted the views of Benito Mussolini, the Italian dictator, whose feminine ideal concerned rural, strong and fertile women, in opposition to ostentation and cosmopolitanism.〔Rizzoli, Biancamaria (2012-09-12). (Il costume e la moda ). . Moda Arte. Retrieved on 2014-01-11.〕 Still, reflecting the social background of antagonism or ambivalence towards pure athleticism in women, the 1931 sporting event was designated the ''Olympics of Grace''. International promotional material around the event stressed it "will be devoted not to contests of speed, strength or skill, but to exhibitions of gymnastic grace".〔(Florence Jan. 8, page 17 ). ''The San Bernardino County Sun'' (1931-01-09). Retrieved on 2014-01-11.〕〔("Olympics of Grace" for Women ). ''The Spokesman-Review'' (25 January 1931). Retrieved on 2014-01-11.〕 The tournament was supported by Italian women's sports organisations as well as the FSFI. It was not sanctioned by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Both this event and the Women's World Games led to greater inclusion of women at the Olympic Games. The number of Olympic women athletes increased over five-fold from the 1920 to the 1936 Summer Olympics (65 to 331).〔(Antwerp 1920 ). IOC. Retrieved on 2014-01-11.〕〔(Berlin 1936 ). IOC. Retrieved on 2014-01-11.〕 In addition to the track and field events, a dancing competition was held and the winner's cup was presented to a troupe of German dancers under the tutelage of Mary Wigman, one of the originators of modern expressionist dance.〔Wellesley College. "The Wellesley News" (1932-12-08). ''The Wellesley News''. (Book 935 ). Retrieved on 2014-01-11.〕 It is not known what other events were held in Florence besides dance and athletics. ==Medal summary==
