Story
There are many legends about the origins of the Olympic Games. All of them are associated with ancient Greek gods and heroes. The first Olympic Games took place in 776 BC in Olympia, which was considered a sacred place by the Greeks. The name of the Games comes from Olympia.
At the time, the Games were such an important event that warring states would end their conflicts to pay tribute to the ceremony.
Religious ceremonies were an obligatory part of the ancient Olympic Games. According to established custom, the first day of the Games was set aside for sacrifices - athletes spent this day at the altars and altars of their patron gods. A similar ritual was repeated on the final day of the Olympic Games, when awards were presented to the winners.
In total, 293 Games were held at Olympia. The Roman Emperor Theodosius I banned the Olympic Games in 394 AD as a “relic of paganism.”
Revival of the Olympic Games
In June 1894, a meeting took place in Paris international congress on problems of physical education, in which representatives of 12 countries participated. Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who presented a report at the meeting, proposed reviving the tradition of the ancient Greek Olympics.
It was then that the International Olympic Committee was created, with Pierre de Coubertin becoming its secretary general.
Congress decided to hold the Games of the First Olympiad in Greece in 1896, in which 241 athletes from 14 countries took part.
Since then, 49 Olympics have already passed. Of these, 27 are summer and 22 are winter. The games did not take place only three times (1916, 1940, 1944) due to the First and Second World Wars.
Over the years, many athletes have performed outstanding sports results, hundreds of cups and medals have been won.
The movement gained strength with each passing of the Games. But it was only in 1967 that the IOC announced the establishment of June 23 as International Olympic Day.
Currently, the Olympic Games have become the largest sports festival planets. Their implementation is still based on the Olympic Charter adopted in 1894 - a kind of charter that defines the goals, content and nature of the movement, as well as the conditions for celebrating the Olympic Games.
This document gives a clear definition of Olympism, which is a philosophy of life that elevates and integrates into a balanced whole the dignity of body, will and mind. Olympism, which combines sport with culture and education, strives to create a way of life based on the joy of effort, on the educational value of good example and on respect for universal basic ethical principles.
Symbols and traditions of the Olympics
The Olympic movement has its own symbols, approved by the IOC at the suggestion of Coubertin in 1913. The main ones are the flag and the coat of arms of the Olympics depicted on it - five multi-colored rings intertwined with each other.
Each of them symbolizes one of the five parts of the world, whose representatives take part in the Olympics. The blue ring is Europe, the red ring is America, the yellow ring is Asia, the black ring is Africa, and the green ring is Australia. Blue, black and red are located in the top row, yellow and green are in the bottom.
Intertwined with each other, the rings symbolize the unity of all parts of the world, all continents, all races, peoples and countries in the face of sport.
The motto of the Olympic movement is “Faster, higher, stronger” (Citius, Altius, Fortius).
Over more than a century of history, a ritual for holding the Games has developed: the lighting of the Olympic flame at the opening ceremony; the recitation of the Olympic oath by one of the outstanding athletes of the country in which the Games are being held on behalf of all participants in the Games; taking an oath of impartial judging on behalf of the judges; presentation of medals to winners and prize-winners of competitions; raising the national flag of the country and singing the national anthem in honor of the winners.
The flame is traditionally lit by the sun's rays at Olympia in Greece and carried by a torch relay of athletes to the host city of the Olympic Games.
Since 1932, the organizer of the Olympic Games has been building the so-called olympic village for participants of the Games.
According to the Olympic Charter, the Games are a competition between individual athletes and not between national teams. However, since 1908, an unofficial team classification has become widespread - determining the place occupied by teams by the number of medals received.
In this case, priority in establishing the team place is given to gold medals, and if they are equal, to silver and bronze awards.
The Winter Olympic Games have been held since 1924. With the development of the Olympic movement, more and more countries are included in its orbit.
More and more enriched and sports program Games At almost every Olympics, new sports appear in its program, and the number of Olympic awards awarded increases accordingly.

Every year around the world, June 23 is celebrated as “International Olympic Day”.
This holiday was born in 1948, when the International Olympic Committee, during its 42nd session, noted the need to perpetuate the date June 23, as the date of birth of the first Olympics in Greece, which was held in 1896.
Public figure and IOC activist Pierre de Coubertin headed the International Olympic Committee that year and made a proposal to the United Nations with a proposal to include this day in the register of holidays and memorable dates of humanity. Since 1949, “International Olympic Day” has been celebrated annually.
Today, the Olympic movement covers more than 200 countries around the world, where more than five billion people live. Every year, according to tradition, marathon races are organized on this day in the capitals of countries that have signed the Olympic Charter.
International Olympic Day is an unofficial holiday, which is included in the register of memorable and holiday dates of the Russian Federation. It is not a day off (if it falls on a weekday).
The Japanese name for Japan, Nihon (日本), consists of two parts - ni (日) and hon (本), both of which are Sinicisms. The first word (日) in modern Chinese is pronounced rì and, as in Japanese, means “sun” (represented in writing by its ideogram). The second word (本) in modern Chinese is pronounced bӗn. Its original meaning is "root", and the ideogram representing it is the ideogram of the tree mù (木) with a dash added at the bottom to indicate the root. From the meaning of “root” the meaning of “origin” developed, and it was in this meaning that it entered the name of Japan Nihon (日本) – “origin of the sun” > “land of the rising sun” (modern Chinese rì bӗn). In ancient Chinese, the word bӗn (本) also had the meaning of “scroll, book.” In modern Chinese it is replaced in this sense by the word shū (書), but remains in it as a counting word for books. The Chinese word bӗn (本) was borrowed into Japanese both in the sense of "root, origin" and "scroll, book", and in the form hon (本) means book in modern Japanese. The same Chinese word bӗn (本) meaning “scroll, book” was also borrowed into the ancient Turkic language, where, after adding the Turkic suffix -ig, it acquired the form *küjnig. The Türks brought this word to Europe, where it from the language of the Danube Turkic-speaking Bulgars in the form knig entered the language of the Slavic-speaking Bulgarians and, through Church Slavonic, spread to other Slavic languages, including Russian.
Thus, the Russian word book and the Japanese word hon "book" have a common root of Chinese origin, and the same root is included as a second component in the Japanese name for Japan Nihon.
I hope everything is clear?)))
