The modern Olympics, which appeared in ancient Greece as many as 3,000 years ago, have become the

world’s most important sporting competition. From the 8th century B. C. to the 4th century A. D., the the ancient

Olympics were held every four years in Olympia in honor of the god Zeus. The first modern Olympics took place

in1896 inAthens, and featured 280 participants from 13 nations, competing in 43 events. Since 1994, the Summer

and Winter Olympic Games have been held separately every two years. The 2020 Summer Olympics, delayed one

year because of the COVID-19, was held in Japan in 2021.

The ancient Olympics were held every four years between August 6 and September 19 during a festival

honoring Zeus. The Games were named for their location (位置) at Olympia, a place near the western coast in

southern Greece. Their influence was so great that ancient historians began to measure time by the Olympic

Games held every four years.

After the Roman Empire conquered (征服) Greece in the mid-2nd century B.C., the Games continued, but

their standards and quality dropped. For example from 67 A. D., the Emperor Nero entered an Olympic horse race,

announcing himself the winner even after he fell off hishorse during the event. In 393 A. D., Emperor

TheodosiusⅠended the ancient Olympic tradition.

It was another 1,500 years before the Games rose again, largely thanks to the efforts of Baron Pierre de Coubertin (1863-1937) of France. Working hard at the development of physical education, the young man became

inspired by the idea of creating a modern Olympic Games after visiting the ancient Olympic building. In November

1892, at a meeting of the Union des Sports Athlétiques in Paris, Coubertin suggested the idea of making the

Olympics an international athletic competition held every four years. Two years later, he got the approval (批准)

he needed to found the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ), which would become the governing body of the

modern Olympic Games.

4. What do we know about the modern Olympics?

A. The modern Olympics became famous in the 18th century.
