Today, the Olympic Games are a global phenomenon. But, do you know where it originated?

The first record of the Olympic Games being held was in 776 B.C. when a cook named Coroebus won the only event - a 630-feet (192-meter) footrace called the "stade" to become Olympic champion.

However, it is likely that the games had been going on for many years by that time.  They were held every four years in Olympia, on the western Peloponnese peninsula. These ancient games were part of a religious festival in honor of the god Zeus.

The modern Olympics began in 1896, thanks largely to the efforts of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who was inspired following a visit to the ancient Olympic site. The first modern Olympics took place in Athens, Greece. There were 280 participants from 13 nations (all male), who competed in 43 events, including track and field, gymnastics, swimming, wrestling, cycling, tennis, weightlifting, shooting, and fencing.

The modern Olympics really took off after 1924, when the VIII Games were held in Paris. Around 3,000 athletes (including more than 100 women) from 44 nations competed. The Winter Olympics also began that year and included events like figure skating, ice hockey, bobsledding, and the biathlon.
