  The History of the Olympic Games
  Long ago ancient Greeks often were at war. Small states suffered greatly even if they didn’t take part in the war.
  The ruler of such a small state, Elis, didn’t participate
  in the war and was recognized a neutral state thanks to
  his diplomatic abilities. To celebrate this achievement
  he organized athletic games.
  During Olympic Games states couldn’t be at war.
  The games were held every four years in Olympia on
  the territory of Elis. The first games which later were
  called the Olympic Games were held about a thousand years
  ago before our era.

  Best athletes arrived from many Greek states to
  Olympia to compete in running, long jumps, throwing
  of discus, javelin and wrestling. Later on fist fighting (boxing) and chariot races were also included
  in the Games.
  Winners of the Olympic Games were called “ olympionics ”
  and awarded olive wreaths and cups of olive oil.
  In the Olympic Games women were not allowed even
  to watch competitions at the stadium under the
  fear of death penalty.

  The Olympic Games had been held for about eleven hundred years until the emperor Theodosius banned them for religious reasons in 394 A.D.
  Only in 1894 the Olympic Games were revived and the International Olympic Committee was organized.
  The first Olympic Games of the modern times were held in
  1896 in Athens, Greece.
