The Olympics first started as a tournament for the honor of the Greek gods. Soon, the ancient Greeks started adding more events, such as the marathon as we know today. But back then, the marathon was 24.85 miles long, not 26.2 miles. When the Byzantine Empire took over Greece, the emperor dismantled the religion of the Greeks, halting the Games for centuries. But about 2 millennia later, in 1896, the first modern Games took place in Athens, Greece. Over time, the Games grew less and more popular over the years. In 1924, the first Winter Games were held at Chamonix, France, and then the Summer and Winter Games alternated every four years. And then every 2 years, starting after World War II.
I wouldn't really recommend this book to a lot of people, but it's still informative. I mean informative about the history of the Games. It doesn't just tell what the Games were like or what events they had. But the feeling that the Games were very popular and had many spectators watching. When the Games were popular, they attracted many spectators and known celebrities. That was the feeling of the Olympic Games. Thanks for reading! ( )
