The Olympic History

According to olympic history the games were made in 776 BC not long after Jesus died. Every year they had a religious festival to Honour the famous god Zeus so they make sacrifices with the ox which is a big cow that they sacrifice to please the gods but now the olympic is not just a religious festival it is international level.

The sports a included by Boxing, Javelin, Chariot riding & Horse riding & Races which you have to run 100 metres with armour and a sword so you will not get killed by the opponents running with you. And  The great town Olympia was were the olympic or religious festival took place.

Then when it got to the the late years of the Greek history a person named Theodosius shut down the Olympics forever but the best sporting event that is well known wouldn’t be shut down forever. But now the Olympic sport does not have poetry or singing they have sporting events that you can get injuries from but now the included new sports including Rugby, Football, Tae Kwon-do, Wrestling & Judo.

Now when the Olympics was shut down they had no idea what they were going to please the powerful god Zeus and the had now clue how to please him but then when was close to the 1800 century one person thought that the Olympia were not going to be ended forever then he stood up and found a solution.

He was talking to some people then they agreed with him to bring the Olympia back but now it's called the Olympics when the person told everyone he thought again to make it into a worldwide sport so the world could join in on what the Greeks enjoyed for a long period of time so they announced that the sport is worldwide so when the word spread out the Greeks said it would done every 4 years.

When it came to the 1800 century the games took place in Paris. Then in the 1900 century the Olympics took place in London then on and on the Olympics became an event that is worldwide famous. But now the  event is being taken in Rio in Brazil where people could get diseases but people have events that are more fun to keep them going for gold.

And that is how the Olympics started.
