Olympic Games

The tradition of Olympic Games was back to ancient Greece. We know that the first Olympic Games took place in the town of Olympia more than 2,700 years ago.

There was no wars in the country for these five days when sports competitions took place. It was a great athletic festival of wrestling, foot-racing, discus throwing and others. Poets recited poems, singers sang hymns, dancers danced, and orators pronounced speeches - all this in honour of the sacred Games.

Only men could take part in the Olympics. Women were not allowed even to watch the competitions at the stadium under the fear of death penalty. There was a single exception, when a woman coached her son and accompanied him to the stadium in men's clothes. That brave woman was spared to penalty because her son excelled in many events. But from that time all athletes and their coaches had to compete without any clothes on.

The games were organised and held up to the year of 393. Then, for more than 1.700 years nothing more was heard of the Olympiads.

The first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896. They take place every fourth year. The Games cannot take place in the country, which is at war. That's why there were no Olympic Games during the two World Wars. Winter sports made their Olympic debut in 1908 when figure-skating was in­cluded into the Olympic programme among summer sports (athletic, swimming, gymnastics, weightlifting, wrestling, tennis, fencing, cycling, shooting). At the

winter Olympic Games many teams from different countries take part in compe­titions in figure-skating, skiing, freestyle, ice-hockey and other winter sports. The Olympics are very popular all over the world.
