Title: What Does Olympics Historical Data Reveal? - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Description: Olympics are a part of our rich historic culture, the roots of which could be traced back to the Greek Empire 3000 years ago. It is the living embodiment of how far the world has come and it still continues to grow. The Games really took off some 1500 years later and the efforts of Baron Pierre de Coubertin birthed the idea of the modern Olympics. Here is when the Olympics became the international athletic competition where athletes competed to showcase their skills and bring glory to their country. We can then trace the first modern Olympics to Athens, Greece in celebration of the Games history where 13 nations participated with 280 athletes in 43 events. Comparing that to the 2004 Summer Olympics which took place in Athens as well and involved 11,000 athletes from 201 countries. Currently, Olympics are held every two years in different locations around the world and are divided into Summer Olympic Games and Winter Olympic Games. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
