How did the Olympic Games start?In ancient Greece,athletic festivals were very
important and have strong religious associations.Originally,the festival was
held in honor of Zeus,the supreme God in Greek mythology.Eventually,the
Olympian athletic festival had lost its local and national characters and became
an international event.No one knows exactly how far back the Olympic Games go,
but some scholars recorded date from 776 BC.According to some scholars,at
first,the only Olympic event was 200-yard dash,called a stadium and that was
the only event until 724BC.After that,other field events were added and 16
years later in 708BC,the pentathlon was added and wrestling became part of the
Games.This Pentathlon was a five-event match,which consisted of running,
wrestling,leaping,throwing the discus and hurling the javelin.
The Games were held every four years and after an uninterrupted history of 1170
years,the Games were abolished in AD394,the Christian era,because of the pagan
origin.It was over 1500 years before there was another such international
athletic gathering.
In 1896,the first of the modern summer games opened in Athens,Greece.Nowadays
the Games are held in different countries in turn.The host country provides
vast facilities,such as stadiums and living accommodation.Many more sports are
represented,including the very celebrated event,the marathon races.The
Olympics start with the arrival in the stadium of a torch ,lighted on Mount
Olympics by the sun's rays.The torch is carried by a succession of runners to
the stadium.The Olympic flame symbolizes the continuation of the ancient Greek
athletic ideals and it burns throughout the Games until the closing ceremony.
The well-known Olympic flag,however,is a modern conception.The five
interlocking rings symbolize the uniting of all five continents,participating
in the Games.
