The Olympic Games, as we know them now, have a long history dating back to ancient times. It all started in the Peloponnese, Greece, about 3,000 years ago. Sports competitions were held in Olympia and got their name from the venue of the Olympic Games. No one knows exactly when they began, but the first written mention dates back to 776 BC. The Games were held in the same location every four years. This four-year period was called the Olympiad and was used as a reckoning system: time was measured in Olympiads, not in years. THE BIRTH OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES

The history of the Olympic Games in Ancient Greece is shrouded in legends and myths, but it is known for certain that they began to be held in Olympia, a town located in southern Greece, in the western part of the Peloponnesian Peninsula, in the region of Elis. According to one of the legend versions, the cruel god Kronos ruled there. For fear of dying at the hands of one of his children, he swallowed his newborn babies.
