Olympics History

The Olympics originated in ancient Greece around 776 BC as a series of athletic competitions honoring Zeus. They were held every four years and lasted over a thousand years until Roman suppression. The modern Olympics were revived in 1896 by Pierre de Coubertin, emphasizing international unity through sports. The event now features summer and winter Games, showcasing diverse athletic disciplines and promoting global peace and understanding. Over time, the Olympics have evolved to include professional athletes and advanced technology, symbolizing excellence, perseverance, and cultural exchange across nations.
