OLYMPIC GAMES
The Olympic Games is the world's most important international sports event, in which
thousands of athletes compete in different sports. The Olympic idea means friendship and
cooperation among the people of the world.
The original Olympic Games began in ancient Greece in 776 B.C. These games were part
of a festival held every fourth year in honor of the God Zeus in Olympia. It was a great
athletic festival, including competitions in wrestling, foot racing and chariot racing, rowing,
and others. The Olympic Games were very important for the ancient world. During the
period of the games, all wars were stopped. Art festivals accompanied the games. Only
men could take part in the Olympic Games. Greek women were forbidden not only to
participate but also to watch the games.
In the late 19th century, Coubertin decided to revive the Olympic Games. For this purpose,
he founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894, and two years later, in
1896, the modern Summer Olympic Games were established in Athens.
The Games are held every two years, with the Summer and Winter Olympic Games
alternating. The evolution of the Olympic Movement during the 20th century forced the
IOC to adapt the Games to the world’s changing social circumstances. Some of these
changes include the creation of the Winter Games for ice and snow sports, the Paralympic
Games for athletes with physical disabilities, and the Youth Olympic Games for teenage
athletes.
The symbol of the Olympic Games is composed of five

interlocking rings, colored blue, yellow, black, green, and
red, on a white field. This was originally designed in 1912 by
Coubertin. These five rings represent the five continents of
the world: America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia.
