The Story of the Olympic Games A Journey to Ancient Greece

In the modern Olympics, winners are presented with medals in gold, silver and bronze, but, in ancient Greece, winners were awarded a crown of olive leaves.

The idea of a modern Olympic Games was started by a Frenchman called Baron Pierre de Coubertin. He designed the famous logo with five coloured rings. These represent the continents of the world joined in peace and harmony.

De Coubertin also wrote the Olympic creed, which explained what he thought the Olympics were all about.

A flame was kept burning during the ancient Games as well! Months before the Olympics begin a flame is lit in Olympia and is passed through a relay of torches. The torches are carried by foot, air, road, rail or water to the chosen stadium. During the opening ceremony the last torch lights a cauldron, which burns throughout the Games A flame was kept burning during the ancient Games as well!

The Olympics are now the biggest sporting event in the world . There are many more events and sports to participate in and there is even a separate Winter Games every four years. Only time will tell if the modern Games can carry on for as long as the ancient ones!
