Olympics

The Olympics, also known as the Olympic Games, is a major international multi-sport event held every four years, featuring summer and winter sports competitions. The name is derived from Mount Olympus in Greece, where the ancient Olympic Games were first held in 776 BC in honor of Zeus. The modern Olympics were revived in 1896 and have since become a symbol of global unity and sportsmanship, involving athletes from around the world who compete in various sports disciplines. The Olympics promotes ideals such as excellence, friendship, and respect, and includes both individual and team events. The event is organized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and features a formal opening and closing ceremony, among other traditions and rituals.
