Introduction to the Olympic Games

The Olympic Games, Olympics or Olympics, are the largest multidisciplinary international sporting event in which athletes from various parts of the world participate. They are considered the main competition in the sports world, with more than two hundred participating nations. There are two types: the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics, which are held with an interval of two years, according to the Olympic Charter: “The Games of the Olympiad are held during the first year of an Olympiad and the Winter Olympics during their third year.”

The modern Olympic Games were inspired by the Olympic Games of antiquity (eighth century BC), organized in ancient Greece with headquarters in the city of Olympia, held between 776 BC and 776 BC. and 393 A.D. In the nineteenth century, the idea arose to hold events similar to those organized in ancient times, mainly thanks to the efforts of Pierre Frèdy, Baron de Coubertin. The Baron founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894. Since then, the IOC has become the coordinating body of the Olympic Movement, with the Olympic Charter defining its structure and authority.
