How Did The Olympics Return?

The Olympics is a long-standing tradition that is full of stories and highlights. It is a place where people from different countries and backgrounds come together and interact with each other. It celebrates the culture and history of the host country and gives its athletes the chance to compete and win medals. With Olympics, you can find a wide range of events from sailing to gymnastics to track and field. 

The Olympics are the world’s biggest sporting event, with over 11,000 participants in 2012 in the Summer Games in London. Over the years, the Olympics has changed tremendously in structure, budget, and in the form of competition (now there are over 200 events in the Summer Olympics alone), but one thing that hasn’t changed since its inception in 1894 is its location. 

The Olympics are held every four years in the host city, though in some years, the Summer Games are in two successive cities; in 1904, they were in St. Louis, Missouri (which hosted the Summer Games in 1904 and 1932), and in 1992, they were in Barcelona, Spain (which hosted in 1992 and 1996).

The Olympics are the premier international sporting event organized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and contested by National Olympic Committees (NOC). The most recent Olympics are the Winter Olympics 2018 in PyeongChang, South Korea, which featured 687 events in 92 different sports.

The Olympics have been a part of the Olympic culture for many years, and one of the more interesting questions regarding the very first Olympic games is how they started. A simple enough question, but one that is still being debated by historians and researchers. There are a few different theories on how the Olympics started, with each one having a bit of validity.  Some believe the original games began in a religious festival in a sanctuary of a god in Greece in 776 BC. They were held every four years, with the winners being crowned king/queen of the dead. The name “Olympics” comes from the Greek term “Olympiad,” which means “games of the gods.”

The ancient Olympic Games were a big deal, and not just because they were a religious ceremony to a bunch of gods. They were very important from a political perspective as well, as they were used for training soldiers, as well as a way to advertise your city or country. 

Theodosius II, known by the nickname “The Great,” was the Roman Emperor from 379 to 395 CE. He was also the last Emperor to rule both the east and west of the Roman Empire. His rule was marked by the rapid decline of the Western Roman Empire and the emergence of the Byzantine Empire. The story of Emperor Theodosius and the ancient Olympic Games is a familiar one. In 393 A.D., the Roman emperor, Theodosius I, threatened to suppress a festival that had been celebrated for more than a thousand years.

In about 400 AD, a Roman emperor named Theodosius became tired of the wild Roman games and banned them. While Theodosius was able to ban the games, he couldn’t stop the games from happening. They became even wilder as a result, as many people took advantage of this event as a chance to get away from Rome and enjoy themselves for a little while.

At the end of the 19th century, there was a lot of talk in Europe about the importance of sports. The most prominent of these thinkers was Pierre de Coubertin, who said that sport was the driving force behind the progress of the human race. Coubertin recognized that sport had to be available to everyone, but he also understood that it would be impossible to organize it by the numbers, so he decided to use the infrastructure that already existed in most countries. So, in 1896 he called for the organization of the first modern Olympic Games.

Baron Pierre de Coubertin was a French sports enthusiast who traveled all over Europe to study the Olympic Games, trying to learn what made them work. He concluded that modern athletics were becoming stagnant. And he brought back the Olympics.
