With this construction (series listing the specifics), you need a colon (:) after "Olympic Games" not a comma. It's also not an appositive then. Try this one again.
3. He had an advantage over today’s athletes: when he competed, four Olympics were held during the nine-year period. (1900-1908)
ANSWER= He had an advantage over today’s athletes: when he competed, 1900-1908, four Olympics were held during the nine-year period.
Those are years in the parentheses, right? Put the years as close to the word "year" as possible.
