OLYMPIC GAMES 
Many people all over the world have always been interested in sport because it’s not only healthy, but also spectacular and exciting. For these reasons people have started the Olympic Games.

They have a very long history. They started in 776 ВС in Greece and took place every four years for nearly twelve centuries at Olympia. They included many different kinds of sports. All the cities in Greece sent their best athletes to Olympia to compete in the Games. When the Games took place, all the wars stopped. So, the Olympic Games became the symbol of peace and friendship. They were held in honour of the god Zeus. In the early games, only Greek men were allowed to participate. The games consisted of sports like footraces, wrestling, boxing, pentathlon and horse racing. The last event of the games was usually a chariot race. When the Romans conquered Greece in 140 B.C. the games started to lose their religious meaning and in 393 the Roman emperor banned the event.

Later on the Games disappeared and the modern games began in 1896 when the Frenchman Pierre de Coubertin revived the games to bring peace and friendship to the young people all over the world.
