16. 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.
