The Olympic Games

1) Nobody knows exactly when the Olympic Games began, but historians think that the first games were in 776 BC. Athletes from all over Greece came to compete in a town called Olympia. There was only one event. It was a running race.

2) The games were very popular. Soon there were more events, for example, wrestling and horse racing. The games took place every four years, for a thousand years. In AD 394 the Roman Emperor Theodosius stopped them for religious reasons.

3) In 1887, the Frenchman Pierre de Coubertin decided he wanted to restart the Olympic Games. It took a long time but finally the first modem Olympic Games began in Athens in April 1896. Thirteen countries took part. There were nearly 300 competitors in nine different sports.

4) Pierre de Coubertin also designed the Olympic rings. Each ring represents one of the five continents and the Olympic flag contains at least one colour from every national flag.

5) Today the Olympic Games are the world's most famous sports competition. The modern Olympics take place every four years in a different city. In 2004 they were again in Athens. Over 11,000 athletes from 203 countries competed in 28 sports, 3 000 years after the first Olympic Games.
