OLYMPICS
HISTORY OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES: The Olympic Games have a rich
history dating back to ancient Greece. Inspired by the games of the city of Olympia,
which were held in the 8th century BC, the modern Olympic Games have become
one of the largest international sporting events.
The Olympic Games originated in Olympia, Greece, in honor of the god Zeus.
Athletes competed in disciplines such as running, wrestling and discus throwing.
These games were part of a tradition that sought to promote peace and harmony
among the Greek city-states.
Renaissance: After centuries of inactivity, the Olympic Games were revived in the
19th century. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) was formed in 1894 to
coordinate and produce these events. Since then, the Olympic Games have been
held every four years, alternating between the Summer and Winter Games.
Disciplines: The Summer Olympic Games include 28 disciplines, such as athletics,
swimming, gymnastics and cycling. The Winter Olympics, on the other hand, have
15 disciplines, such as skiing, ice skating and bobsleigh.
Icon of peace: Throughout their history, the Olympic Games have symbolized
peace between nations. Although they have faced challenges, such as world wars
and the pandemic, their spirit persists.
HOW MANY SPORTS STARTED IN THE OLYMPIC GAMES IN ANCIENT
TIMES?
In total, the first Games in history were made up of nine different sports: athletics,
cycling, fencing, gymnastics, shooting, swimming, tennis, weightlifting and
wrestling. All of them remain within the Olympic program to this day.

background. They were chosen so that the flags of all countries had at least one of
those colors.

the indigenous Americans, and yellow, for the skins and deserts of Asia.
