How The Olympics Came To Be.....

The Olympic games started in Greece 776 BC. They started just with little games like the Two hundred meter dash, Shot put, Boxing and just little more. The Olympics were just about religion. They hailed Zeus as their God but it evolved overtime. In our days we don't run naked or hail anyone but there is still some sports we have in our days. But soon enough the Olympics have been closed by Pagan Cult, until it had been revived by Baron Pierre de Coubertin in 1886. When it had been revived there were no Gods or Rulers...

But in that time they did sacrifices to Zeus ( There God ) and they used to sacrifice so many things like Hundreds and Hundreds of Ox ( A Type Of Cow ) and much much more. They used to burn the Ox and the smoke will go in the air. It means that when it goes in the air it’s going to their God Zeus..   

The Youngest Athlete to compete in Olympic History was just 10 years old, his name was Dimitrios Loundras. He received a Bronze Medal in a team event. The Event he competed in was the Relay Race...The Events held in the games were Shot Put, Sprints, Boxing and more. But slowly over time the Events Evolved. In our days the sports we compete in is Sprinting, Shot Put, Discus, High Jump, Long Jump and Much Much More...

As you know or don't know the 2016 Olympic Games is being held in Rio De Janeiro. But sadly there is a virus in Brazil, It is called the Zika Virus. Many Athletes Backed down because it was a risk going to the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games is a BIG Tourist attraction. Brazil and many other countries that have held the Olympics recently have made heaps and heaps of money. How you may ask, well first of all you fly there and that would cost a fortune plus paying for the Olympics and that will cost another fortune. Most of that money would go to the government of Brazil and that's how they make heaps of money...   

I think the Olympics have changed over time for the following reasons...First off it's not good burning and sacrificing Gods creatures. Second, it's rude running naked and weird. So those are the reasons I think the Olympics have changed over time...

The End!!!
