What is the origin of the Olympics, thank you

The Olympic Games originated in ancient Greece and got their name from the fact that they were held at the Olympic Games. "Olympiad" is a religious festival in ancient Greece, which is an ancestor worship event held in Olympia in ancient Greece once every four years.

The Olympics generally begin on the first full moon day of the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, a tradition that continues to this day. The sports competitions in the ancestral worship event are called "Olympia Athletics".

Briefing on other facts about the Olympic Games.

The modern Olympic Games are divided into 10 events: the Summer Olympic Games, the Summer Paralympic Games, the Winter Olympic Games, the Winter Paralympic Games, the Summer Youth Olympic Games, the Winter Youth Olympic Games, the World Summer Special Olympics Games, the World Winter Special Olympics Games, the Summer Deaf Olympic Games, and the Winter Deaf Olympic Games.

There is also a lot of controversy about the Olympic Games, so we know that today's Olympic Games come from a place like Olympia in ancient Greece.

But there are many theories about why people hold the Olympic Games, the first is from the Greek mythology, after the son of the god of the sea Poseidon took the beautiful daughter of the king of Pisa, he in order to thank the god Zeus for his help, and the silver shirt he obtained such a beautiful wife, so he held a competitive such a conference, which is about the origin of the Olympic Games from the myth and legend.

So at present, the more credible theory is from the Homeric epic, there are two Homeric epics, one is the Iliad and the other is an odyssey, then in the Iliad it is recorded that Achilles held a large-scale competitive games in order to commemorate a general who died in the Trojan War, and then in the second Odyssey, the Odyssey also held a large-scale competitive sports meeting when he was entertaining guests.

Judging from the historical data, then in the Greek period, there were many city-states, and the city-states competed with each other and fought frequently, and each city-state used sports competitions to achieve the purpose of military training in order to train.

But later people found that the war brought great disasters to people, to society and life, in order to eliminate disasters and achieve such a goal of peace, so people turned such a form of competition for the purpose of sports training into a sports meeting based on the pursuit of peace and friendship, so the current Olympic Games were created by the French Coubertin after 1500.

"The revival of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games, in the 15th century led many Europeans to begin to praise the Olympic spirit again. If we compare the Olympics to a commodity, we must follow the principle of spending money before making money. The full name of the Olympic Games is the Olympic Games, which originated in Greece and was introduced to the world by Coubertin, the "father of the Olympic Games".

Held every four years and lasting no more than 16 days, the Olympic Games are the world's largest and most influential multi-sport event.

As the biggest sporting event in the world, no one really can do it. To put it simply, the most basic condition that a country hosting the Olympics must have, that is, economic strength. Economist Andrew Zimbarister believes that the Olympics have gradually become an economic gamble for some time.

The Olympics are not about kids building sandcastles on the beach, but one after the other. First of all, it is a big project that burns money for a long time, and in fact, before the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, every Olympics suffered huge losses.

The first Athens Modern Olympics in 1996 were significant, but Athens was on the verge of financial collapse at the time. However, the Athenian royal family still confidently believed that "the Athenian economy could be saved if there was only one sports meeting."

Unexpectedly, at that time, the Athenian royal family estimated that the number of vandrachmas hosting the Olympics surged to 3.74 million drachmas for various reasons, almost leading to the premature death of the real modern Athens Olympics, and the dramarck was the main currency of Greece.

Fortunately, a generous wealthy businessman donated 1 million yuan, which allowed the Athenian royal family to use the donated funds to complete the initial construction of the Olympic Games, thus temporarily overcoming difficulties and saving the royal family's face. Coincidentally, the 8th Paris Olympics, held in France in 1924, also faced financial difficulties. This year's Olympics was very lively with 44 countries participating.

For the first time, the Orink motto "Faster, Higher, Stronger" was proposed.

Pelops is the legendary founder of the original Olympic Games, and he has also laid a very far-reaching historical significance, so he is very revered by people.

It should have been Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who in the Renaissance began to promote the Olympic spirit and became aware of it.

This man was Baron Pierre-de-Coubertin, who in January 1852 read out the proclamation proposing the resumption of the Olympic Games.
