the first Olympic Games, also called the ancient Olympic Games took place during VIII century BC, the oldest remains of which, located in Egypt, date from -5000 BC. The latter were created with the aim of calming societies at war, but also for a religious purpose in order to propagate an ideal of practices and customs to the people. Indeed, they were not only sportsmen because cultural clashes such as poetry, philosophy or painting were practiced… Abandoned for many centuries, it was Pierre de Coubertin who renovated the Olympics in 1896, and will be called "modern". Since then, the Olympic Games have been held every 4 years in a host city. They have become a major sporting event all over the world, but also a real political or economic asset for the participating countries.

It was in Athens in 1896 that there was the creation of the Olympic Games (renovation of the Ancient Games). The Olympic Games are major international sporting events, bringing together summer and winter sports, in which thousands of athletes participate through various competitions. The Olympics are held every four years, even years. In addition, there are winter and summer Olympics. Many legends surround the origins of the ancient Olympics. The original location would be Olympia.
I studied Greek in high school and had the chance to travel to Greece. I have visited many cities, including Olympia. I visited the site and even had the chance to race on the old stadium with all my class ! It’s a really beautiful place that I’ll keep as a souvenir for the rest of my life. Very Happy

The Olympic games was very important at the beginning, because beyong to be a competition, it was a way to stop the war, and share some values, call "Olympism".
Indeed, Olympic games represent the competion, but Olympism represent some values that the Olympic games defend: such as the appolitism, amateurism, fair-play and many others. But, in my opinion, now some values are not respected. For example, the amateurism, because at the beginning, Olympic games was reserved for amateur athletes, but now we can only see professionnal athletes.
Of course it's interesting for the competition, with the possibilitis to see new records, but I find this harm, because that changes soul of the competition. As well as appolitism, because now Olympic Games serves to disseminate political ideas.

The Olympic Games are a set of world sports competitions held every four years. First taking place in Ancient Greece. From 1924, part of the events took place in February under the name of "Winter Olympic Games" which opposed the "Summer Olympic Games". In 1976, instead of the first Paralympic Games. Since then, the Olympic Games have been frequently regarded as the most prestigious sporting competition, and for good reason, this competition has nowadays become the biggest sporting event. Athletes from all over the world compete in it and their prowess is observed from near and far by hundreds of millions of spectators. Thus, the five Olympic rings linked to each other are the symbol of the meeting of the five continents.

the olympic games have become a tradition in the world since they have existed since the olympic games in athens in 1886 and continue to this day. They have known many transformations of rules, disciplines ... and a huge renovation by Pierre de Coubertin who for example installed amateurism and apoliticalism within the Olympic Games.
The Olympic Games are held every 4 years in different cities around the world and welcome new sports such as short track speed skating which appeared in 1992.
There are also the Youth and Paralympic Olympic Games as well as the Winter Olympic Games and the Summer Olympic Games

The modern Olympic Games are leading international sporting events featuring summer and winter sports competitions in which thousands of athletes from around the world participate in a variety of competitions. The Olympic Games are considered the world's foremost sports competition with more than 200 nations participating. The Olympic Games are held every four years, with the Summer and Winter Games alternating by occurring every four years but two years apart. The evolution of the Olympic Movement during the 20th and 21st centuries has resulted in several changes to the Olympic Games. Some of these adjustments include the creation of the Winter Olympic Games for snow and ice sports, the Paralympic Games for athletes with a disability, the Youth Olympic Games for athletes aged 14 to 18, the five Continental games (Pan American, African, Asian, European, and Pacific), and the World Games for sports that are not contested in the Olympic Games.

The Olympic Games were international games for amators. They started in Greece centuries ago. They took place every four years. In 1892, Pierre de Coubertin thought over the modern Olympic Games. Two years later, the Olympic Congress set up the game again. Athens organized the first games in 1896. Thirteen nations only took part. After that, the games became more and more important. And nations played more matches. In 1898, for example, 5.400 competitions represented 112 nations.
The five interlacing rings set upon a white background are the official symbol of the Olympic games. They represent continents: Africa, America, Asia, Australia and Europe.
The link between the ancient and modern Olympic Games is symbolized by the torch relay.

The Olympic Games are sporting events. They bring together summer and winter sports. It allows you to mix many different sports. The Olympic Games are held every four years.
And alternating summer and winter every two years. 206 are represented. There are 42 summer games and 12 winter games. The statutes of the representatives who can participate are amateurs and professionals. The old games existed at the beginning, cart races were organized and as the games evolved. However, at the start of the Olympic Games, women were not allowed to participate in the Amsterdam Olympic Games in 1928. Women could have their own disciplines in their sport.

In the past, the Olympic Games made it possible to make peace during times of war. Nowadays, in an era of sedentary life, the Olympics highlight the practice of physical activity, they encourage people to practice sport. So the Olympics are positive at any time... unfortunately not. In the ancient Olympics, women were not allowed to participate or watch. Nowadays, the Olympics showcase the country hosting the Games. So, in Brazil for example, the authorities make the city as clean as possible, starting by removing the homeless for example. So are the Olympics more positive or negative?

The Olympic Games are an opportunity for me to discover new disciplines and see new types of sport and new champions. The first Olympic games were held in Athens in 1896. What I also really like is that you can also see the Winter Olympics in which we can see new disciplines. My favorite activity to watch is snowboard cross during the Winter Olympics.

The Olympic Games are held every four years, in even years. Until 1992 the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics were held in the same year. Since 1994, the winter and summer editions have been alternated, two years ago between the summer and winter Olympics, but still four years between two editions of the summer or winter Olympics . It was the Winter Olympics that were shifted to non-leap years. The Olympic Games are there to discover new sports all over the world, but also to reward the most talented athletes in these disciplines. With each new edition, new sports can be integrated into these games, such as in 2020 in Tokyo, rock climbing, skateboarding, surfing and karate. Sur knows that as in 2024, breakdancing will also be a new Olympic discipline. THE Olympic Games therefore bring the whole world together for a long time and reusable to forget the miseries that take place in the world.

By doing research on the Olympic Games which is a subject that inspires me very little, I was able to discover that there are Youth Olympic Games, which really surprised me. In fact, The Youth Olympic Games is a 12-day multi-sport, cultural and educational event that is aimed at young people aged 14 to 18 and is inspired by the Olympic Games. The YOG will bring together talented athletes in order to participate in high-level competitions and show them the way to become true Olympians.

Olympic Games have been the World's best-known sporting event for many years. This event is also the most watched because we can find here the best athletes on the planet in the many disciplines of the Olympic Games : it is therefore the sporting event that generates the most money. The Olympic athletes work hard since their earliest age to participate in this competition since rivalry is very rough because of the passion generated by the Olympic Games in the athletes. Sports lovers all dream of participating in the Olympic Games in their life. This competition is rare because it takes place only once every 4 years and lasts only a short time, that is why nobody wishes to miss it. The greatest Olympic athletes inspire young people who watch them on television and then want to be like them.
Above all, the Olympic Games bring together nations and promote the values of respect and fair play.

The Olympic Games created in 1896 in Athens are a renovation of the Ancient Games. Organised by the IOC (International Olympic Committee) and run by professionals since 1981, the Olympic Games are held in summer (42 disciplines) and winter (12 disciplines). Regarded as the biggest sports competition ahead of the football World Cup, it takes place every 4 years (2 years interval between summer and winter Olympics). Women took part for the first time in the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam, which had previously been denied to them. The Paralympic Games have also been held since 1960. The Summer Olympic Games will be held for the third time in France in 2024 after the editions of 1900 and 1924.

In 2024, Paris will host the Olympic Games, the most famous competition in the world which reborn in 1896 in Athens. It was originally a celebration to Zeus who was one of the many gods in Greek mythology. It was a serie of athletic competitions as today. The link between ancient Olympic games and modern Olympic games is, of course the sport but also the sacred fire. Indeed there is the Olympic flame. The sacred flame has to do a long way until the opening ceremony. The last person who hold it has to light with his torch a basin where the sacred fire will burn for the duration of the Games. Moreover, Olympic games will bring another kind of notoriety to the capital. To host these games allows the country to show its power. Furthermore, there is the aspect of politics and international relationships between the many countries. To illustrate that we can see the Olympic Games at Seoul which shown the economic explosion of these states called New Industrialised Countries of Asia. Then, in emerging countries as Pekin and Rio and in these cases they host the games to show their power. Los Angeles will host the Olympic games in 2028.

The Olympic games were created in 1896 in Athens. The Olympic Games are held every 4 years, but there are winter games and summer games. The summer games are more important (more disciplines and therefore more participants). Women only appeared in 1900 at the Olympic Games, but there were few (just over 2%), now women are represented in almost all disciplines.
Each athlete represents his nation, nations must win the maximum medal.
The countries that organize the Olympic Games (different each time) must be able to accommodate sportsmen and spectators in good conditions, which therefore obliges them to build new infrastructures to standards ...

The Olympics is one of the biggest and most followed sporting events in the world. This international competition is the competition to win for the high level sportsman. For some years now the Olympic Games have become a few political things and now countries want absolute assets in their countries to show their economic power and more for the beauty and values of the Olympic Games.

The Summer Games consist of 42 disciplines with approximately 300 events and the Winter Games consist of 12 disciplines with approximately 100 events.

The Olympic Games are major international sporting events, bringing together summer and winter sports, in which thousands of athletes participate through various competitions. The 2024 Olympic Games will be held in Paris, France. There is a lack of infrastructure to accommodate them like an aquatic center that needs to be built next to the Stade de France, a 7,500-seat covered arena for basketball and wrestling. These Olympic Games will bring many tourists to the French territory who come to attend many international meetings. French tourism will thus increase during this season, restaurants, hotels and tourist activities will increase their turnover.
