Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:It was the first Olympic competition to use telex transmissions of results, and zeppelins were used to quickly transport newsreel footage to other European cities. The Games were televised for the first time, transmitted by closed-circuit to specially equipped theatres in Berlin.
