Olympic Games

The world’s greatest international sports games are the Olympic Games.

The Olympic idea means friendship and cooperation among the people of the world. The Olympic emblem is five rings: blue, yellow, black, green and red. The flag of any country has at least one of these colours. The original Olympic Games began in ancient Greece in 776 BC. It was a great athletic festival including competitions in five kinds of sports: running, long jumps, throwing of discus and javelin, wrestling. The games were for men only. Women couldn’t take part in the competitions or even watch them at the stadium.

The first modern Olympic Games took place in Athens in 1896. The ancient Greeks had no winter sports. Only in 1924 the first Winter Olympic Games took place in France. Now we have Summer and Winter Olympic Games every fourth year in different countries.
