OLYMPIC GAMES

The Olympic Games have been held 29 times since the Olympic flame was lit in
Athens in 1898. From technological advances to impressive world records, the sport
has seen many advances that have slowed many down. However, the Olympic
Games also reflect the development of a society committed to the axis of equality
and fair play. .During this event, a sports festival is held where Greek wrestlers meet
in various competitions. They were so important that even wars between cities and
kingdoms stopped in those times. Selecting and rewarding the best brings them
great respect and reputation. The first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens
in 1896 with 14 countries and 241 athletes, a tradition that continued until it was
interrupted in 1916, 1940 and 1944 due to the world wars at the time. Last year's
pandemic prevented that from happening, although in this case it was only a delay,
with the race finally taking place in 2021.
