They are the three rulers of their respective countries to have opened the Olympic Games which were held in the capital city of their country.
Adolf Hitler-Germany
Emperor Hirohito-Japan
Giovanni Gronchi-Italy...
P.S.- If the logic is correct then Hu Jintao should also be in the list for he opened the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
