2. The Olympic Truce first started in Olympia
(Ancient Greece) in 776BC. At this time
Greece was split up into different parts
and also at war with neighbouring
countries. King Iphotos tried to end all the
wars by organising an athletic contest
every four years. When the Truce started
a contract was signed by the rulers of Elis,
Sparta and Pisa, making all of the
countries come together to reunite.

3. The very first Truce wall was created by the
Greek government for the 2004 Olympics
which was hosted by Athens. Since 1998
the flag of the UN (united nations) has
flown at all competitive games. The Truce
Wall is a symbol of the Olympic Truce and
the athletes meaning peace, support and
understanding.

4. There are no
strangers only
friends we have
not yet met.
Friendship is in
the air we
breathe.

5. There is a spark of
respect in everyone.
Friendship is
within everyone,
you just have to
give respect

6. Excellence is in
everyone, even if
they are good or
bad.
You can find
friendship
anyone even
if your unkind

7. The modern Olympic movement began in
1894 when the international Olympic
committee was formed. The first modern
Olympic games took place in 1896 but it
was not until a century later that attempts
were made to revive the Olympic Truce.

8. In 1992 South Africa were able to compete
following the abolition of apartheid. In
2000 North and South Korea marched
under the same flag at the opening
ceremonies. In 2004 Robina Muquimar
and Friba Razayee were the first women
to represent Afghanistan at the Olympic
games.
