    History of Our Olympic Games Welcome to our web site!
    Have you watched the Olympics on TV or better yet been there to experience it live? Did you ever wondered why the Olympics started? I did! If you want to be on or go to the Olympics, I think you first need to know about it. Why did the games start? At the original Olympics what games did they play? Also what games do they play today? Now, get ready for the world of the Olympics.
    Have you ever wondered how the Olympics started? In Olympia, Greece the Olympic Games were held every four years. First Olympic game was recorded in 776 BC; that was about 3,000 years ago. At that time this great festival took place to honor the Greek gods. Olympics were held during the great festival. My resources say Olympics were held to please the various gods. One God, in particular, the most important was called Zeus. The Olympics were called Olympiad in Greece.
    Now we know where the games are held, but we dont know what games they played? In the first thirteen Olympic games, there was only one event and that was the sprint. The sprint event was about one hundred and eight meters in length. Then later Pentathlon was added and it had different events. There was discus, javelin, jumping, running, and wrestling. After a while, they added Equestrian events and that included chariot racing and riding. The Ancient Olympics did have lots of events. They had two major events Equestrian and Pentathlon events.

The games were only held at Olympia rather than moving from place to place as the modern games do. Learn about the ancient events and more. - illustrated - From Tufts college/Perseus Project - http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/Olympics/sports.html The Ancient Olympic Games "The Olympics were a celebration of the almighty Zeus, the powerful King of the ancient Greek Gods. As in the modern games, these great contests brought athletes from many countries, including those from Africa and Spain. (Swaddling, 1984) There is only disputed evidence as to when the first Olympic Games were held. There are records that show the first games took place in 776 B.C.; however, there is evidence to the contrary. Greek festivals celebrating religion, music, and athletes are thought to have occurred perhaps centuries before that date.

    A Brief Overview of Olympic History
    The Olympic Games is the largest sporting event in the world. It is constantly growing and changing to fit the needs of a changing society (meaning the entire world). Each celebration brings more nations and more athletes to the Games. In the beginning there were only a few hundred athletes, today there are over 10,000 athletes. In the first few Olympic Games there were very few women athletes because they were not welcome, today almost half the athletes are women.
    The Modern Olympic Games started in 1896 in Athens, Greece and the 100th anniversary, the Centennial Games, were in 1996 in Atlanta, Georgia. The last summer Olympic Games were held in 2000 in Sydney, Australia. The next summer Olympic Games will be in Athens, Greece in 2004.
    The 2002 Olympic Winter Games were celebrated in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. The Winter Olympic Games only started in 1924 and are not considered part of the OLYMPIAD, the four year time period between the Games. This special recognition is only for the summer Games, which are more important and have higher participation numbers in both number of countries and athletes.
    The Modern Olympic Games are not hosted by a country, but they are hosted by a city. The recent Olympic Games were not the "American" Olympic Games, they were the "SALT LAKE CITY" Olympic Games.

    http://www.koalaexpress.com.au/olympics.htm
    The Greek athletic games, otherwise commonly recognized as the Panhellenic Games, were an integral part of Greek life. They combined religion, sport, and music into extravagant festivals involving peoples throughout Mediterranean. Not only did they attract thousands of participants and spectators to their venues, but they also promoted solidarity among the various Greek city-states. By the Classical period, their influence was felt throughout Greece. There were four main games: the Olympic Games, Pythian Games, Nemean Games, and Isthmian Games. The games at Olympia were the oldest and most famous of these. They all began quite humbly as religious ceremonies. While the games had a small religious aspect throughout their history, this role diminished as time progressed. Mythological evidence suggests that the athletic events originally served as entertainment for humans and gods and were loosely associated with sacrificial offerings. At first they were purely local events most likely spanning two or three days, consisting only of dancing, running, and wrestling. The centrepiece of every Olympics is the track and field stadium. Stadium Australia has built the largest Olympic arena in history with 110,000 spectators able to see the opening and closing ceremonies, track and field program and the final of the men's soccer tournament. Under an agreement brokered by the Olympic Co-ordination Authority, the majority of the cost of the $A615 million stadium is being borne by the private sector with the NSW public having ultimate ownership of the venue. Stadium Australia has already hosted several world-class events including top-flight rugby league and union, American NFL and the FIFA All Stars.

They were held every four years in ancient Olympia, after which they were named. The prize for Olympic champions, no awards were given to second or third place athletes, was an olive wreath, the kotinos. The importance of the ancient Olympic Games was such that warring states would cease their conflicts in order to honour the ceremonies – a concept that has been carried forward throughout the history of the Games as the Olympic Truce. The Olympic Games were revived in Athens in 1896, following the efforts of the French Baron Pierre de Coubertin and the Greek Dimitrios Vikelas. They deeply believed in the universal and noble competition of sport and the ‘ethos’ of the ancient Olympic ideals.
