THE HISTORY OF THE OLYMPICS GAMES

“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the
power to unite in a way that little else does. It
speaks to youth in a language they understand.
Sport can create hope where once there was only
despair. It is more powerful than governments in
breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face
of all types of discrimination.”
Nelson Mandela

THE OLYMPIC PROCESSION
The games to be held every four years after
the harvest. The first took place in 776 BC. Two
days before they began, official, athletes and
trainers set out on the two-day walk from Elis to
Olympia.

THE OLYMPIC IDEAL
When Baron Pierre de Coubertin restarted the
Olympic Games just over a hundred years ago, he
hoped the meeting of athletes from all over the
world would lead to peace and better understanding
between nations. He also hoped that the athletes
would take part for the joy of sport and not just for
money or fame.

THE FIRST DAY
A boar was
sacrificed and
athletes and judges
took an oath. If they
broke it they could
be whipped.

THE SECOND DAY
The second
night of the
festival always
coincided with
the full moon
then a great feast
was held.

THE THIRD AND FOURTH DAY.
A hundred oxen
were sacrificed on
the altar of Zeus.
The pile of ash was
left to grow higher
every year.

THE 5 DAY.
On the last day the winners
processed to the Temple of Zeus to
be crowned with leaves from the
sacred olive grove. There were no
prizes but winners were often well
rewarded by their home state.
Second and third place didn’t even
get medals… as they do today
