Answer:

___________Olympic Games___________

Introduction:

Olympic games are seen as a platform for athletes all around the world to showcase their talents and bring glory to  their nations.  

The Historical significance:

The Olympic games originated in Ancient Greece where different cities would send their representatives to different competitions. These events were mainly athletic but some did involve combat and chariot racing. These events were of religious significance as the events had their roots in rituals that honored the god Zeus. The events were held between intervals of 4 years and this period was known as Olympiad. The Olympiads were used as means to measure a time period. Winning these events meant recognition and money. The winners would be celebrated and idolized across Greece and they would also be immortalized through the form of statues and poems and songs that would be written and sung in their names. Some of the stories of such athletes are being talked about to this day. The Olympic game reached its peak in the 5th and 6th century BC after which the Romans exerted their dominance over the region and ended up killing the Olympiads around 400 AD. There were many attempts to revive the games around the 1700’s and 1800’s In England and France but these events were minor and not even fairly close to the scale at which the events are run today.

Rising Interest in Olympics:

After this, during 1890 The IOC (International Olympic Association) was formed and aimed to revive the former glory of the Olympic games. The IOC brought about a framework for all the games. That led to The first Olympic games of the modern age being held in Athens in 1896. 14 countries participated and they took part in 43 events. The IOC then decided that the Olympic games would be best served if they rotated the venue internationally and with this in mind the second Olympic games were held in Paris. In 1912 the games got an overhaul and it was made sure that all athletes had a level playing field and this was also the time when the Olympic symbol with the intertwined rings, was formed. The overhaul and the symbol were all thanks to Pierre De Coubertin and it took him another 8 years to bring together the next Olympic games because of the outbreak of World War 1. The first Olympic games Under his leadership were conducted in 1920. This was the 3rd time the modern Olympics as we know it was conducted.

Significance in today’s day and age:

Coming to today’s day and age, the Olympic Games are a platform that allows countries to show their prowess and as a way to reflect their superior capabilities. When countries like the US or China come out on top of the gold medal table at the Olympics, it showcases the superior capabilities of these countries to the world, at an international stage. The Olympics have also become a stage for political statements and a good example would be the time when John Carlos and Tommie Smith, two African American men, stood with black armbands in the 1968 Mexico Olympics after winning their track event. This is an iconic moment in sporting history that signified their protest against apartheid.

Hope it helps you a lot.
