Originating in 776 BCE, the Olympics began as a festival to honor the mythological希腊主神宙斯. As the son to the supreme god of time,克洛诺斯, and goddess of fertility,瑞亚, Zeus was the leader of the heavens and earth. After overthrowing his father through a tremendous war with a few devotedTitans和他的破坏性的雷电,宙斯着手把宇宙的控制。从他们在山法庭裁决奥林巴斯,宙斯,以及其他的泰坦,成为著名的奥林匹亚诸神。随着故事的推移,在山脚下开发的宗教节日崇拜宙斯和接近他的实力。为了纪念伟大的所有神灵,希腊人认为他们应该为他提供最好的一切,其中包括灵巧的身体素质。因此,奥运会诞生了。
In the beginning, the Olympics were confined to residents of Greece; women, slaves, and dishonored citizens were also forbidden to compete. Greek women, who were not only prohibited to compete but also watch the events entirely, held games of their own, called Heraea, also at Olympia. The sole event was running—which was completed nude, but over time more were added—boxing and chariot racing were among the first to evolve. Winning was a superior honor to both male and female competitors. Victors were crowned with chaplets of wild olive, and their home city-states champions were awarded numerous honors, valuable gifts, and privileges. The first recorded champion was a cook namedCoroebus,称霸的唯一事件,192米赛跑称为体育场(单词“球场”的由来)。比赛的长度是根据一个传说大力神, Greek mythological hero known for his strength and son of Zeus, ran this distance in one breath.
在1896年,首届现代奥运会took place in Athens, and featured 280 participants from 13 nations—all male—with 43 events and 60,000 spectators. Also featured in the 1896 games was the first Olympic marathon, which followed the 25-mile route run by the Greek solider,菲迪皮德斯*,谁在公元前490带来了胜利的消息在波斯人从马拉松到雅典他跑到雅典喊“欢呼吧!我们征服!”然后衰竭而死。现代奥运会的官方标志是五个相连的彩色环,代表北美,南美,亚洲,非洲,欧洲和澳洲大陆。奥林匹克会旗**, featuring this symbol on white background, flew for the first time at the Antwerp Games in 1920. The Olympics truly took off as an international sporting event when the VIII Games were held in Paris. Around 3,000 athletes—including over 100 women—from 44 nations competed that year. For the first time the games featured a closing ceremony and the Winter Olympics also debuted. Eighty years later, in 2004, the Summer Olympics returned to Athens for the first time with a record-breaking 11,000 athletes from 201 countries. Currently, the Olympics has grown to offer other games such as:特别奥运会, Paralympics, and Deaflympics.They include traditional events of track and field athletics, but have added several more over the decades accumulating a total of 28 sports with 300 events for the Summer 2016 Olympics.
