The Olympics, officially known as the Olympic Games, is a major international multi-sport event that takes place every four years, featuring summer and winter sports competitions. Athletes from around the world participate in various sports, representing their countries. The Olympic Games are organized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and are divided into two main categories: the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics, held in alternating even-numbered years.
The origins of the Olympics date back to ancient Greece around 776 BC, where they were held in Olympia as a festival to honor the god Zeus. The modern Olympic Games were revived in the late 19th century, initiated by Pierre de Coubertin, and have since evolved into one of the most prestigious sporting events globally, promoting values such as sportsmanship, excellence, and unity among nations. The Olympic symbol, consisting of five interlocking rings, represents the unity of the five continents. The event also includes the Olympic Flame, which symbolizes peace and unity, and is lit during the opening ceremony, marking the start of the Games.
