HISTORY OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES

Olympic Games is the largest international multi-sport event,

held every four years. Tradition, which existed in ancient

Greece, was revived at the end of XIX century French

philanthropist Pierre de Coubertin. Olympic Games, also known

as the Summer Olympic Games, held every four years since

1896, except for the years who came to the world wars. In 1924

established Olympic Winter Games, which were originally held

in the same year as the summer. However, since the 1994, the

time of the Winter Olympics shifted by two years on the time of

the Summer Games.

CREATOR OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES

PIERRE DE COUBERTIN

Coubertin much thought over the idea of international competitions in order to popularize the sport.

Noticing the increased public interest in the ancient Olympic Games, caused by loud archaeological

discoveries in Olympia, Coubertin drafted revival of the Olympic Games and made 25 November 1892

at the Sorbonne, the world famous Paris University, on "Revival of Olympic."

For the Games in 1912 in Stockholm, Pierre de Coubertin created the new sport discipline - modern

pentathlon.

From 1912 to 1948 years of Art is holding a contest at the Olympic Games included in the Olympic

program at the initiative of Pierre de Coubertin. [1] V1912 year, under the pseudonym of

participating in the Competition of Art at the V Olympic Games in Stockholm, Pierre de Coubertin

won the gold medal for "Ode to Sport" (nomination - literature) [2].

In 1916, at the height of World War II, Coubertin put on his uniform and went to the front, where he

joined the French army. In these conditions, it could not and did not consider it possible to stay on as

president of IOC. Coubertin insisted on the transfer of authority to a member of the committee “

Godefroy de Blonay”, as representative of neutral Switzerland. A year after the war ended in 1919,

Coubertin again led by the International Olympic Committee.

June 23, 1894 Coubertin efforts failed. At the Congress at the Sorbonne

took the historic decision: "Because there is no doubt about the benefits

provided by the revival of the Olympic Games, both in terms of sports, as

well as international, but these games will be revived on the basis that

the demands of modern life." Also established the International Olympic

Committee (IOC), which Coubertin was appointed General Secretary. It

was decided to hold the Games every four years. After the discussion,

Congress supported the other Coubertin Demetrius Vikelas to host the

first modern Olympic Games in Athens, in a sign of the continuity of the

ancient Games. Demetrius Vikelas was elected president of the Olympic

Committee.

Monument in Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta (USA)

Games took place in the summer of 1896 and had great success.

After their completion Coubertin became IOC president vacated

seat.

In the future, the Olympic movement had to face serious

difficulties, since the next Games -the 1900 in Paris ,the 1904 in

St. Louis - have attracted little attention in the background and

was held simultaneously with the World Expo. The situation

changed since the 1906, when held so-called Intermediate Games

in Athens, and the Olympic Games are the greatest sporting event.
