Games were held once every four years to honor the Greek god Zeus. Sportsmen from many nations
took part in the games. The Greek Olympics did not have as many sports programmes as the modern
Olympic Games. There were only a short race!a race of about three miles and some other matches
such as jumping, boxing, etc.
During the games all wars stopped. Soldiers were allowed to pass safely through enemy lines on
their way to the games. The last Greek Olympics were held in 388 A.D.. Then the Roman rulers
ordered the games be stopped.
A Fren chman wished to renew the ideas of excellence of body, mind and spirit (娼舞) shown in
the ancient Greek Olympics. He believed that the Olympic Games would bring about healthy
competition among nations, so he decided to start the Olympic Games all over again. He succeeded.

been growing steadily (糧宗仇) with more and more nations and athletes taking part. They have
much more programmes than the Greek Olympics. Athletes of many nations compete in various kinds
of sports.

The first Olympic Games at Olympia were held in 776 B. C. They were held 1 four years from 776 B. C. to 393 A. D. In ancient 2 , games were closely 3 to the worship(恊彰)of the gods and heroes. They were also held as part of religious ceremonies(忱縮卩塀)to 4 dead heroes. But from the beginning, the games at Olympia served to 5 the Greek sense of national unity. So every four years over 1 100 years, thousands of 6 stopped all wars and 7 to a small sanctuary in northwestern Greece for five days in the late summer for 8 reason!to watch the Olympic Games.
