34A) ANCIENT OLYMPICGAMES

The origin of Olympic Games belongs to Grecce. Ancicnt Olympic Games were
festival. The
started in pre-historic periodand continued for many centuries as Greece
records says that the first historic mentioning of games occurred in the year 776 BC.
These games were played as religious festival in the state of Athens near the valley
of Appheur river at Olympiad. The games were held with religious customs in the
honour of their God Zeus'. The ceremony of Olympic Games begins from the new
moon day in July after four years. The events of Olympic continued for five days in
precise order. On the first day of games, the priest (Hellanodikis) performed the rituals
withgrand opening and burned the sacred torch also an oath by players was taken. On
the next day Emphibians'(animal games) were played. On the third day Diaulos '(foot
races). 'Dolichos ' (chariot races and cquestrian), "Panthalon' (combination of running, Statue of muscular man (Hercules)
throwing. jumping) were performed. On the fourth day Puglis' (boxing, wrestling,
sword fighting and other
contact games) were played. On the final day of closing
ceremony, the prizes were given to heroes. The flocks ot
pigeons were sent to all cities of Greece which carried
the names ofthechampions. The prizes (erown) given
to winners were made from Olive leaves. The famous
heroes of these games were Homer, Atlas, Hercules,
Gallen, etc., and are still remembered in our stones.
Ancient Olympic Games came to a sudden end when
the Roman emperor Theodosius' banned these
games in the year 394 A.D. The glory of these games
vanished with time as ruins are still present in
Olympiad.

 3.(B) MODERN OLYMPIC GAMEs
The revival work of ModernOlympic Games was undertaken by Baron Pierre De Coubertin (ee
years after the last AncientOlympic Games) in the year 1896 at Athens.
In the Conference of Physical Education on 2Sth November i892, Baron Coubertin (born inan ltalian fndh
settled in France) planned the Restoration of Olympic Games in 1900 at Paris; with the motive to strenethen
sports to develop everlasting qualities for modem education. In June, 1894, the International Conference of Am
Snorts at Paris, passed the resolution to create International Olympic Committee (10C), to observe the conduct o
Moderm Olympic Games. But the zeal of the delegates was so much that they insisted the first games to be held i
1896 at Athens. Since then these games were held after every four years. Thus, International Olympic Committer
(I0C) was formed in 1894 at Paris. The honour of holding the Modern Olympic Games is entrusted to city and
not to a country or region. The choice of city for the celebration is with IOC.
