When did the ancient Olympics start?

Legends vary as to when the ancient Olympic Games originated, but most scholars believe that the ancient Olympic Games originated in 776 BC and are held every four years in the summer.

There are many legends about the origin of the ancient Olympic Games, the most important of which are the following two: First, the ancient Olympic Games were regular sports competitions held to worship Zeus. The ancient Olympic Games were a sporting and religious celebration.

From 776 BC to 393 AD it was held in the ancient Greek city of Olympia, where 292 ancient Olympiads were held.

Another legend is associated with Hercules, the son of Zeus. Hercules was nicknamed "Hercules" because of his power.

June 16, 1894, was a memorable day in the history of the Olympic Movement. On the initiative of Pierre de Coubertin, the father of the modern Olympic movement, the long-awaited one"International Congress of Physical Education"Held in Paris, France. It was established by the General Assembly"International Olympic Committee", approved the first Olympic Charter drawn up by Coubertin, elected the Greek poet Viqueiras as the first president of the IOC, Coubertin as secretary-general, and elected 14 IOC members.

With the exception of Kraft from New Zealand, the other members were all Europeans and Americans, and Asia and Africa were not represented. The meeting established French (now English and French) as the official language of the IOC, and decided to hold the Games every four years. The first Olympic Games were originally planned to be held in Paris in 1900, but given that Greece was the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games, it was more significant to hold them in Greece than in Paris.

In the end, it was decided to reschedule the Games to 1896, as Olympia, the site of the ancient Olympic Games, was in ruins, and the venue was changed to Athens, the capital of Greece. With this, the Olympic flame, which had been extinguished for more than 1,000 years, was finally rekindled.

The first Olympic Games were attended by 311 athletes from 13 countries.

I only know about the modern Olympics.

It was probably before the 18th century.

The Olympic Games originated in ancient Greece and got their name from the fact that they were held at the Olympic Games. Legend has it that the ancient Olympic Games were founded by Zeus, the king of the gods. 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.

Medal ceremony: Olympic medalsDuring the Olympic Games, medals shall be awarded by the President of the IOC (or a member of his choosing) accompanied by the President of the International Federation concerned (or his representative). Normally, immediately after the conclusion of each competition, the prizes are presented at the venue where the competition is held in the following manner: the top three athletes are on the podium in formal attire or sportswear, facing the ** seats.

The champion stands slightly higher and then announces their name. The flag of the champion delegation shall be raised from the ** flagpole, and the flags of the second and third place delegations shall be raised from the flagpole immediately to the right and left of the ** flagpole, respectively. When the national anthem of the champion delegation is played, all medal winners should face the flag.

In the early days of the ancient Olympic Games, there were not many competitions, and the competition lasted only one day.

Later, as the number of competitions increased, it was extended to two days. With the addition of the junior competition program from the 37th edition, the time has been extended to 5 days. The first day is the opening ceremony, where the sacrifice and oath ceremony are held.

The second, third and fourth days are the specific content of the competition, and the fifth day is the closing ceremony, which will be used for prize distribution and worship activities.

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.
