The Olympics


The Olympics is one of the most celebrated sporting events in the world. Dating back to 776 B.C., the first Olympic games were celebrated in Athens as a religious festival to honor the Greek god, Zeus. The modern games that we know today were held in Athens on April 6, 1896, with 14 countries represented and 241 male athletes participating. Like in ancient times, the winners were awarded an olive wreath for symbolizing victory, which has since become a symbol of the games. Today's Olympic games include 206 nations and roughly 11,000 male and female athletes!
