Answer:
The Christian Emperor Theodosius I banned the Olympic games in 393 AD.
In the year 393 AD, he banned every festival that was considered 'Pagan' in Christian mythology. As a result, the 12 centuries old Olympic games were banned just because of his Anti-Pagan policy.
It had a drastic effect. For the next 1500 years, the games were forgotten, until they were reintroduced in the Athenian Olympics, 1896.
