Before the Modern Games
The first recorded ancient Olympic Games
were held in 776 BC, held in Olympia,
Greece.
The Ancient Olympics continued every four
year, finishing about 394 AD
Olympic Games- Summer Olympics
40. MODERN OYMPIC GAMES
In 1894, a French educator Baron Pierre
de Coubertin, proposed a revival of the
ancient tradition, and thus the modern-
day Olympic Summer Games were born.
The first Olympic Games of the modern
era were held in Athens in 1896.
Women first competed at the 1900 Paris
Games
Olympic Games
42. Because of World War I and World War II,
there were no Olympic Games in 1916, 1940,
or 1944
At the first Olympic Games in 1896, there
were nine sports contested. Since that time
many sports have been added (and removed
too) from the program. Only five sports have
been contested at every summer Olympic
games since 1896: Athletics, Cycling,
Fencing, Gymnastics and Swimming. In 2012
there will be 26 sports contested.
MODERN OYMPIC GAMES
(SUMMER)
44. The Olympic Rings and Flag
The design of the official Olympic flag,
which is five interconnected rings on a
white background, was created Pierre de
Coubertin in 1914. The colors are (from
left to right) blue, yellow, black, green,
and red. It was first flown at the Antwerp
Olympic stadium in 1920.
MODERN OYMPIC GAMES
45. The five Olympic rings represent the five
major regions of the world – Africa, the
Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania, and
are interconnected to symbolize the
friendship to be gained from these
international competitions. The colors
were chosen because at least one of them
appeared on the flag of every country in
the world.
The Olympic Rings and Flag
48. The modern Olympic game was created to
replicate the tradition of the ancient
Olympic Games, and throughout the
modern history of the Games there are
many traditions of its own that have
become an essential part of the Olympics.
Olympic Games Traditions
49. Pierre de Coubertin wrote an oath for the
athletes to recite at each Olympic Games.
During the opening ceremonies, one athlete
recites the oath on behalf of all the athletes
The Oath
"In the name of all the competitors, I
promise that we shall take part in these
Olympic Games, respecting and abiding
by the rules which govern them,
committing ourselves to a sport without
doping and without drugs, in the true
spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of
sport and the honor of our teams."
The Olympic Oath
51. The Creed
"The most important thing in the
Olympic Games is not to win but to
take part, just as the most important
thing in life is not the triumph but the
struggle. The essential thing is not to
have conquered but to have fought
well."
The Olympic Creed
52. In 1921 Pierre de Coubertin
borrowed a Latin phrase from his
friend, Father Henri Didon, for the
Olympic motto.
The motto in Latin is "Citius, Altius,
Fortius" - which translates in English
as "Swifter, Higher, Stronger"
The Olympic Motto
53. The Olympic Hymn is played when the
Olympic Flag is raised
The music for the hymn was composed by
Spyros Samaras and the words added by
Greece's national poet, Kostis Palamas
The Olympic Hymn was first played at the
1896 Olympic Games in Athens, but wasn't
declared the official hymn by the IOC until
1957. The 1960 Games was the first that the
Olympic Hymn was played for since the first
games
The Olympic Hymn
55. The Olympic flame represents a number of
things, including purity and the endeavor for
perfection.
The lighting of the Olympic flame is a practice
continued from the ancient Olympic Games. It all
starts at the ancient site of Olympia in Greece,
where a flame is ignited by the sun rays reflected
off a curved mirror, and then is kept burning until
the closing of the Olympic Games. The flame is
lit by women dressed in ancient-style robes,
resembling those worn in ancient times, and
using a curved mirror and the sun
The Olympic Flame
57. In 1936, the chairman of the organizing
committee for the 1936 Olympic Games, Carl
Diem, suggested what is now the modern
Olympic Torch relay. The flame was kindled in
Olympia, home of the ancient Olympics, and
then relayed first in Greece and then
transported all the way to Berlin via a torch
relay
Each Olympic Games organizing Committee
has designed a unique torch for the relay.
Descriptions of each torch is below.
The Olympic Torches
59. The Olympic Games torch relay tradition
begins with the Olympic flame being lit by
the sun's rays at the ancient site of
Olympia, after which it is passed by torch
from runner to runner to the Olympic
stadium in the host city. As such, the
relay represents a continuation from the
ancient Olympic Games to the modern
Olympics
The Olympic Torch Relay
60. In the ancient Olympics, no medals were
awarded. The first-place winner was given
an olive branch to wear on his head. The
second and third place winners did not
receive anything.
At the opening ceremony, the Olympic
flag is raised while the Olympic hymn is
played. The torch relay arrives and the
flame is lit. The Olympic Oath and Creed
is also said
Olympic Medals
65. The opening ceremony has become a
major entertainment spectacle, costing
millions of dollars to stage. It has come a
long way since the first opening
ceremonies held during the 1908 Olympic
Games in London, where for the first
time, athletes marched into the stadium
behind their nations' flags.
The Olympic Opening Ceremony
69. National anthems are an important part of
the Olympic Games.
The winning team or athlete's national
anthem was first played with the raising of
the country flag at the 1924 Olympic Games
According to Olympic rules, national anthems
cannot be longer than 80 seconds in length,
which means that some countries have had
to create a shortened version of their
anthem.
