What is the history of the Olympic Games

A: the modern Olympic movement emerged in the European capitalist industrial era, but its origins can be traced back to the ancient Greek Olympic Games, the ancient Olympic Games every four years, from 776 B.C. the first Olympic Games with written records to 393 A.D., *** held 293 sessions, lasted 1,169 years, after the emergence of the development and weakness of several classes. First, the natural environment of ancient Greece and the formation of athletic practices. The superior geographical position made ancient Greece become the meeting place of many kinds of cultures, and therefore accelerated the process of social development, and made excellent contributions to mankind in many aspects in the fields of science, culture, art and sports, and became the birthplace of western civilization. Athletics was an important part of Greek life. Secondly, the competition events in the early period of the Olympic Games also reflected the relationship between war and the development of the ancient Olympic Games. During the 500-year period starting from 776 AD, the Olympic Games program gradually expanded from a single race to a comprehensive games with wrestling, mixed martial arts, boxing, four-horse chariot racing, carriage racing, jousting, horse racing, pentathlon, etc. These competitions, which were mostly related to military skills, reflected the driving force of war on the development of the Olympic Games program. Although the events of the Ancient Olympic Games had an obvious military stigma, the Games themselves were a great event for the entire Greek nation to come together. Although conflicts between city-states often occurred, they were also very closely connected, especially since the 8th century BC, with the rise of the ancient Greek colonial movement, forming a Greek civilization circle in the Mediterranean region. Thirdly, the religious practices of ancient Greece and the formation of the Olympic Games model. The ancient Olympic Games were a pan-Greek religious celebration with the following three characteristics: first, the worship of the gods of Mount Olympus; second, a unique sacrificial system; and third, a wealth of religious myths and legends. Fourth, the prosperity and decline of the ancient Olympic Games. Roughly can be divided into three stages, the first stage (8th century BC --- 6th century BC) development of the Greek city states to participate in the event, the second stage (6th century BC ---- 4th century BC) for the heyday of slavery in the ancient Greek city states, the ancient Olympic Games reached its peak. The third stage (4th century B.C. --- 4th century A.D.) Ancient Greece was conquered by Macedonia and the Roman Empire, the ancient Olympic Games into decline. Second: the motivation of the Olympic Movement: the need for the internationalization of sports, the second half of the 19th century, with the development of the international political and economic situation, the development of modern sports, there are two obvious tendencies. One is the rapid development of competitive sports, and the other is the internationalization trend of sports. In 1881, the first international single sports organization, the International Gymnastics Federation, was established. With the expansion of international sports exchanges, it has become an urgent need to establish a comprehensive international sports exchange arena and to establish an international sports organization to coordinate the activities of various single sports organizations in order to play a management role. Finally in 1893, according to the suggestion of Coubertin, the French Federation of Athletic Associations held an international sports conference. Discuss the revival of the Olympic Games. In 1894, the International Congress of Physical Education and Sport opened at the Sorbonne Theological Seminary in Paris. An important document ---- (Revival of the Olympic Games) was adopted. Since the first Olympic Games were to be held in 1896 in Athens, Greece, the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games, Vikelas, a Greek, was to be the first president and Coubertin the secretary general. The General Assembly decided in which country's major city the Olympic Games would be held every four years.
