The Olympic Games is an international multi-sport event subdivided into
summer and winter sporting events. The original Olympic Games (Greek:
Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες; Olympiakoi Agones) began in 776 BC in Olympia,
Greece, and was celebrated until AD 393. Interest in reviving the
Olympic Games proper was first shown by the Greek poet and newspaper
editor Panagiotis Soutsos in his poem "Dialogue of the Dead" in 1833.
Evangelos Zappas sponsored the first modern international Olympic Games
in 1859. He paid for the refurbishment of the Panathinaiko Stadium for
Games held there in 1870 and 1875. This was noted in newspapers and
publications around the world including the London Review, which stated
that "the Olympian Games, discontinued for centuries, have recently been
revived! Here is strange news indeed ... the classical games of
antiquity were revived near Athens".
The International Olympic Committee was founded in 1894 with the
initiative of a French nobleman, Pierre Frédy, Baron de Coubertin. The
first of the IOC's Olympic Games were the 1896 Summer Olympics, held in
Athens, Greece. Participation in the Olympic Games has increased to
include athletes from nearly all nations worldwide. With the improvement
of satellite communications and global telecasts of the events, the
Olympics are consistently gaining supporters. The most recent Summer
Olympics were the 2004 Games in Athens and the most recent Winter
Olympics were the 2006 Games in Turin. The upcoming games in Beijing are
planned to comprise 302 events in 28 sports. As of 2006, the Winter
Olympics were competed in 84 events in 7 sports.
