A brief history of the Olympic Games According to historic records, the

first Olympic Games were held in 776 B.C. in Olympia, Greece. The Games were held every 4 years in honour of the king of the gods,Zeus. It is reported that there was only 1 event in the very earliest Olympiad: the 200-yard sprint. Soon, other events were added, including boxing, wrestling, the discus throw, the long jump, so on.

Horse races were added later. For 1000 years the Games were at

regular intervals of 4 years. Special messengers were sent out in every direction to announce the beginning of the Games and to signal an end of all disputes and wars until after the Games.

The modern Olympic Games are still held every 4th year, but were interrupted in 1916, 1940 and 1944 by World Wars. In

A.D. 393 the Byzantine Emperor banned the Games. In 1894 Baron Pierre de Coubertin wrote a letter to the sport organizations of every country. In his letter he described the educational value of sports to modern man. He formed the International Olympic Committee and on 5 April 1896, the

Olympic Games began again. Russia joined it in 1952. The symbol is 5 rings which represent 5 continents.
