The ancient Olympic Games was interrupted for a long time. It was not until 1888 that the French educator Baron Pierre De Coubertin proposed to restore the Olympic Games. His proposal received many responses. 1894 the first international sports conference was held in Paris to discuss the restoration of the Olympic games. 79 delegates from 12 countries attended the meeting.
The proposal to resume the Olympic Games was unanimously adopted at the meeting. From April 6th, 1996 to April 6th, 1996, the earliest truly international modern Olympic Games was held in Athens, Greece. A total of 285 athletes from 13 countries participated in this sports meeting. In this Olympic Games, there are several events such as track and field, gymnastics, fencing, shooting, swimming, boating, weightlifting, cycling, equestrian and tennis.
The ancient Olympic Games were not limited to sports competitions. Besides running, there are also drama performances and poetry readings. During the sports meeting, everyone can move freely and not invade each other, so for the ancient Greeks, the Olympic Games is a symbol of peace and unity.
The sports meeting begins with the Olympic oath and ends with awards and banquets. The three-day competition includes running, wrestling and horse riding. The ancient Olympic Games lasted until 393 AD, and then it was interrupted. Until 1896, at the suggestion of Frenchman Coubertin, the first modern Olympic Games with international scale was held in Athens, Greece.
The Olympic Games aroused great interest. Take Athens as an example. At that time, the population of Athens was only 1.26 million, but more than 70 thousand people went to watch the game. At that time, it was an amazing event in the world.
