History of the Olympics
According to legend, the ancient Olympic Games were founded by Heracles a son of Zeus. Yet the first Olympic Games for which we still have written records were held in 776 BCE. At this Olympic Games, a naked runner, Coroebus won the sole event at the Olympics, the stade - a run of approximately 192 meters . This made Coroebus the first Olympic champion in history.
The ancient Olympic Games grew and continued to be played every four years for nearly 1200 years. In 393 CE, the Roman emperor Theodosius I, a Christian, abolished the Games because of their pagan influences.
Approximately 1500 years later, a young Frenchmen named Pierre de Coubertin began their revival. He was only seven years old when . After examining the education of the German, British, and American children, Coubertin decided that it was sports that made a well-rounded person.
In 1890, he organized and founded a sports organization. Two years later, Coubertin first pitched his idea to revive the Olympic Games.
