The Olympic Games
The Olympics have a very long history. They began in the year 776 Before Christ, and took place every four years
for nearly 1,200 years at Olympia, in the Peloponnese in ancient Greece. They included many different kinds of
sport (although far less than today): running, boxing, wrestling, the pentathlon and chariot racing. The pentathlon
consisted of five different events in which a competing athlete was obliged to take part. The games were held in
honour of Zeus of Olympus (the Thessalian mountain on which lived the chief Greek gods) and they included
literary and musical competitions, too. In 394 A.D., the games were stopped by the emperor of Constantinopole
and the temple at Olympia was destroyed. Fifteen hundred years later, in 1894, a Frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin,
persuaded the athletic organizations from fifteen countries to start the Olympic Games again. At present, nearly
150 countries are represented in the International Olympic Committee.

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, actor, producer,
dancer, businessman and philanthropist. Often referred to by the honorific nickname "The King of Pop", his
contributions to music, dance, and fashion, along with his publicized personal life, made him a global figure in
popular culture for over four decades. The eighth child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional
music scene along with his brothers as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1964, and began his solo career in 1971. In
the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. The music videos for his songs, including
those of "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and "Thriller", were credited with breaking down racial barriers and with
transforming the medium into an art form and promotional tool. The popularity of these videos helped to bring the
then-relatively-new television channel MTV to fame. With videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream", he
continued to innovate the medium throughout the 1990s. Through stage and video performances, Jackson
popularized a number of complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk, to which he gave the
name. His distinctive sound and style has influenced numerous hip hop, post-disco,contemporary R&B, pop and
rock artists.
