From the history of the Olympic Games The history of the Olympic Games goes back to Ancient Greece. They began in 776 B.C. and took place for about 1200 years every four year, at Olympia in Greece. It was a great athletic festival including many different kinds of sports: running, boxing, discus throwing, wrestling and others. The Olympics were organized up to the year of 391. In 394 A.D. the Games stopped.
The symbols of the Olympic Games: five Olympic rings the flag of the Olympic Games the Olympic flame
The Olympic motto: Citius, Altius, Fortius Swifter, Higher, Stronger
The Olympic rings Five interlocking rings represent the five parts of the world that were joined together in the Olympic movement: Africa (black), America (red), Asia (yellow), Australia (green), Europe (blue)
The Olympic flag The Olympic flag was first used in the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp, Belgium. The flag of the Olympic Games has five interlocking rings on a white ground. The Olympic flag is paraded during the opening ceremony of each Olympic Games.
The Olympic Flame The tradition of the Olympic flame began over 2700 years ago in Greece during the ancient Olympic Games. For each Olympics a new flame is lit in the ancient Olympic stadium in Olympia, Elis, Greece. The Olympic Torch Relay begins with a tour of Greece. The last runner uses a torch to light the large Olympic torch that burns throughout the games.
The founder of the Olympic Games Baron Pierre de Coubertin (1863-1937), a French educator and sportsman, revived the Olympic Games in 1896. The all-male 1896 games were held in Athens, Greece.
