Olympic History


Do you know about the ancient Olympic game?
It started in 776 BC in Olympia,Greece. There was only one event that was the 200 yard dash. Only men could compete in the nude. The games were a religious festival held every four years to honour the  god Zeus.


In 391 AD Rome invaded Greece. Two years later the Olympic games were abolished in 336 AD. A Frenchman started the Modern Olympics in 1896.

This year the Olympics are held in Greece and I am going to support the New Zealand Olympic.
