Olympic Games

The Olympics are an important part of Greek culture and are seriously affected by athletics. Today, the Olympic Games is the world's largest sports skill and competitive spirit. Thousands of athletes and spectators participated in this universal event. The Olympic Games revived in 1896, began in ancient Greece, and since then it is comparable to the modern Olympic Games. The city called Olympia in southwest Greece is the birthplace of the Olympic Games.

In 776 BC, athletes began a new era. The first Olympic Games were held in Olympia, Greece. The Olympics that I saw today are only a part of the first Olympic Games. In ancient games, people also participated in poetry, mathematics, architecture and sculpture. In the first Olympics, only football games were used as sports events, but such as wrestling, boxing, tank racing, horse racing, javelin, discus and pankration etc., as the Olympics are more popular

The number of the Olympic Games has increased from 9 of the first Olympics in 1896 to 28 in the 2016 Rio Olympics. As time goes on, sports are popular all around the world, and the Olympic Games need to adapt to these changes in order to keep relevance to the world of sports. There is always sports at the end of the Olympic Games, there are only sports that are left behind to be a traditional part of the Olympic Games.

The evolution of the Olympic Games in the 20th and 21st centuries has brought some changes to the Olympic Games. Some of these adjustments include the Winter Olympic Games for Snow Sports, the Paralympic Games for Disabled Athletes, the Youth Olympic Games for athletes 14-18 years old, and five Continental Games (Pan-American, Africa , Asia, Europe, the Pacific, and the Olympics). The controversial sports world convention Olympics and Special Olympics are also approved by the International Olympic Committee The International Olympic Committee has to adapt to various economic, political and technical advances. We are already moving from pure amateurism to enabling the participation of professional athletes. The growing importance of mass media stimulated corporate sponsorship and commercialization of the Olympic Games. World War I brought the cancellation of the 1916, 1940, 1944 Olympic Games.
