　　In ancient Greece,there were four major athletic meetings and the Olympian meeting played the most important part in the lives of the people As time passed,the Olympian meeting gradually lost its local character and became first a national event and then international. No one knows exactly how far back the Oympic Games go but some official records date from 776 BC．

　　The Games took place every four years on the plain by Mount Olympus. Thousands of people came from all parts of the Greek world to watch the games. The winner of the feet race had the great honour of giving his name to the year of his history.

　　After a long history of almost 1,200 years,the Games were stopped for religious (宗教的) reasons. It was then decided in 1896 to start the Olympic Games again. The meeting was held in Athens and 311 athletes from 13 countries took part in it but the idea of such an international meeting attracted the world's attention. After the 1908 London Olympics,many nations sent their best athletes. Although the Games have been time and again threatened by some unfavourable political events,the Games have taken place every four years.
