The Olympic Games

Let me dwell on the following topic: “The Olympic Games”. The world's greatest international sports games are known as the Olympic Games. Actually, the Olympic idea means friendship, fraternity and cooperation among the people of the world. The Olympic Movement proves that real peace can be achieved through sport. Moreover, the Olympic emblem is five interlinked rings: blue, yellow, black, green and red. They represent the five continents.
Speaking about the history, I may say that the original Olympic Games began in ancient Greece in 776 B.C. These games were part of a festival held every fourth year in honour of God Zeus at the place called Olympia. It was a great athletic festival, including competitions in wrestling, foot racing and chariot racing, rowing and others. The games were for men only. Greek women were forbidden not only to participate but also to watch the Olympics.
