4 More about it ; The Greeks that came to the Sanctuary of Zeus at Olympia shared the same religious beliefs and spoke the same language. The athletes were all male citizens of the city-states from every corner of the Greek world, coming from as far away as Iberia (Spain) in the west and the Black Sea (Turkey) in the east.

5 The logo ; The logo is an intersection of five rings ,each in a different hue . The rings are five interlocking rings, colored blue, yellow, black, green and red on a white field, known as the "Olympic rings".
