Olympics

The Olympics began over 2 and a half thousand years ago in ancient Greece. In those days Greece was made up of several different states including Athens, Sparta and Corinth and they were often at war with each other but when the games were on they held a truce. This great event was held at a place called Olympia and this is why the games are called the Olympics. They were held once every 4 years a honour of Zeus lord of all the gods. Eventually the Ancient Olympics were abolished by the Roman Emperor Theodosius the first who was a christian and didn't like the games because they were dedicated to a pagan god. But the Olympics were always remembered as a symbol of human achievement and peace.

Usain Bolt

As Usain Bolt crossed the finish line he felt very proud of himself because while he was running he could hear the crowd shouting his name. When people wanted to get a interview from Usain Bolt he gave them what they wanted. During his interview he realised what he had achieved and was so proud of himself.

Pierre de Coubertin The Olympic father

After a gap of hundreds of years the Olympics returned to Athens in 1896 the reason behind the recreation of the Olympics was because of one man  Pierre de Coubertin. He admired the Greek ideals of fitness and sporting competitiveness amongst different communities and he hoped that the modern Olympics would bring the contents together.
