The
first time a considerable number of sports journalists gathered
together at a major sporting event in the 20th century was the
Olympic Games in Antwerp in 1920. The need and idea to unite the
world’s sports journalists was first born there.
The AIPS was
actually founded in 1924 during the Olympic Games in Paris, at
the Headquarters of the Sporting Club of France, (rue d’Elysee),
by France’s Frantz Reichel (Press Chief of the Paris Olympic
Games) and the Belgian Victor Boin, assisted by their colleagues
Tegner (Sweden), Sekora (Czechoslovakia) and Pozzi (France) who
held there the first AIPS Congress July 1-3, 1924. 29 nations
were present.
