The birth of the ancient Olympic Games.
The full name of the Olympic Games is "Olympic Games", and the word "Olympiad" is derived from the Greek place name "Olympia". Olympia is located in the valley of the Afis River, 360 kilometers southwest of the city of Athens, where it is picturesque and has a pleasant climate. The ancient Greeks built many temples here, so the ancients called this land the Divine City of Alpheus, also called"Holy Land"Olympia, according to the beliefs of the time, was a symbol of peace and friendship.
Ancient Greece and other countries of the Mediterranean region were bustling with great gatherings and amusement and athletic activities during festivals and harvest seasons. Initially, the event was scattered and irregularly, but the Olympia assembly was the most significant.
In 884 B.C., war broke out in ancient Greece, and there were many wars in various places, plagues and agricultural harvests. The common people of Greece are very eager for peace and miss the kind of celebrations that were there in those days. As a result, the king of the city-state of Elis, where Olympia is located, contacted the kings of several other city-states to reach an agreement that Olympia would hold regular games, and that a "holy truce" would be observed during the games year.
The duration of the "Holy Truce" is three months. During this period, no one is allowed to use a sword. Even the two sides that are at war have to put down their ** and prepare to go to Olympia for the Games.
From then on, there was an all-Greek tournament. By 776 B.C., the name of the winner was recorded in writing for the first time. This is what later generations call the first Ancient Greek Games.
Since then, the competition has been held every four years. Therefore, the venue of the competition is in Olympia, which is also called the Ancient Olympic Games, referred to as the Ancient Olympic Games. From 776 BC to 349 AD, when the ancient Olympic Games were abolished by the emperors of the Roman Empire, a total of 293 ancient Olympic Games were held.

The Olympic Games originated in ancient Greece and is known as greece in English, so named after the location of the Olympic Games. Located in the southeastern part of Europe, in the northeastern part of the Mediterranean, including the Greek peninsula, the archipelago and islands of the Aegean and Ionian Seas, the southwestern coast of Turkey, the eastern coast of Italy and the eastern coast of Sicily, of which present-day Greece is one of the representative locations.
Greece is a republican state located in the southeastern corner of Europe, at the southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula. The country consists of the Peloponnese Peninsula in the southern part of the peninsula and more than 3,000 islands in the Aegean Sea.
The first ancient Olympic Games were held in 776 BC and by 394 AD there were 293 editions. The Games are held every 1,417 days, i.e. every four years. This cycle was later referred to as the Olympic cycle.
With the rise of modern sports, the Greek people wanted to restore the ancient Olympic Games. In 1859 and 1889, Greece hosted 4 Olympic Games, making initial attempts. Since 1883, the Frenchman Coubertin has devoted himself to the revival of the ancient Olympic Games.
Through his efforts and several generations, the International Olympic Committee was established on 23 June 1894. The first Olympic Charter, drawn up by Coubertin, emphasized the amateur nature of the Olympic Movement, stipulating that only honorable mentions should be awarded to the winners of the Olympic Games, and that no monetary or other material awards should be given to athletes in any form. On April 6 15, 1896, the first Olympiad was held in Athens.

The origin of the Olympic Games is in ancient Greece, and the ancient Olympic Games and the modern Olympic Games are very different in terms of competition system and competition events. The ancient Olympic Games have gone through a history of more than 1,000 years, with a total of 293 editions. In fact, there is no evidence from the origin of the ancient Olympic Games to the present Tong pants, but there are still many myths and legends handed down, so people still have different views and opinions on how the ancient Olympic Games came about.
Legend has it that there was a hero named Hercules, who participated in a tournament called Olympia and won the event, and since then the Olympic Games have been held every four years. There are still many differences between the ancient Olympics and the modern Olympics, because there were no female athletes in the ancient Olympics, so the participants were generally men. Moreover, the standard of living in ancient times was certainly not as good as it is now, so the physical fitness of athletes was not as simple as that of modern athletes, and the intensity of sports was not as great as it is now.
And because the ancient Olympics were not as big as the current Olympics, there were many events that could not be held. What's more, at that time, the Olympic Games did not have athletes from as many countries participating as the current Olympic Games, so the games at that time were basically self-entertaining, there were no fixed competition rules, and the people who participated were different every year. Moreover, the ancient Olympic Games did not have as many events as the modern Olympic Games, mainly because the economic conditions in ancient times were relatively poor, and there was no way to make many of the props and sports equipment needed for the games.
The current Olympic Games not only have a lot of competitions, but also the rules and regulations are also very strict. In ancient times, everyone could sign up for the Olympic Games if they wanted to, but now the Olympic Games are basically attended by professional athletes, and every event is very formal. Nowadays, the Olympic Games are not only a competition between individuals, but also an exchange and competition between countries.
