THE FIRST OLYMPIC GAMES: The first time they celebrated the Olympics, they were made in Atenas, although there isn't a clue of how they really started, there are some theories about Hercules and Zeus doing a race, the games were very different from the ones we have nowadays, they make the sports naked and sometimes they fight until death. They even set aside wars to make the Olympics as they did them for goods.
THE BANNED OF THE OLYMPICS: A christian ruler came, called Theodosius, and he banned all of the pagan practice and that includes the Olympic Games, because he wanted to promote Christianity
PIERRE DE COUBERTIN: Until this century no one think about the Olympics, until one day Pierre de Coubertin a french person who was really into sports, suggest the idea of doing again the Olympics, and after fighting a lot for it, he create the modern day Olympics
INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE In this year, they fundated the International Olympic committee, the first time they met was in Paris in the auditorium of the Sorbonne University. In here we can found people from all over the world and in here is where they make decisions about the Olympic games and was here when they decided to change the Olympic games as we know them now
THE FIRST MODERN OLYMPICS: This year was the one in which the Olympics were held again, they were made in Atenas in a marble stadium, from the 6th century. These games were so important because they were the first modern Olympic games, in which 280 athletes from 12 different countries took part.
NEW RULE IN THE OLYMPICS: The games were held in Paris, during this game a new rule was established, women and black athletes were allowed to participate in the Olympics, although this rule wasn’t officially approved by the I.O.C. This confusion led to another confusion of which women won the golden medal.
OLYMPIC RINGS During this year, many events happened, one of them was that Cooper teen designed the Olympics rings, he did five circles in which each one has a different color, so that it could represent all the flags in the world as all the flags have one of those colors. The other main event in this year, was about Jim Thorpe, he won tons of gold medals but the Olympic Committee take them away as they hear that he was a professional athlete
BERLIN OLYMPICS: This year the Olympics were held in Berlin, in a nazi Germany. The Olympics were celebrated but there was a lot of political tension during that time. As there was this tension they made some promises as having Jewish people on the German team, but this wasn’t followed as only one Jewish participated in the German team. In these games, Hitler wanted to use them to perpetuate his superior race, but the win of four gold medals from Jesse Owens, a black athlete, backfired on him a lot, as he refused to shake his hand.
