English: Chris Walsh Mrs. Kerr English – 2 March 17, 2011 Olympics The Olympics started in ancient Greece where they were held for many years. Then they were stopped when Greece was destroyed. In 1896 the modern Olympic Games were formed and played again in Athens, Greece. In 1924 the first winter games were played. The Olympics became so popular because they brought people together and because skiing revolutionized winter sports. First, the Olympics were reformed to bring people together. They were preformed in Athens, Greece. The first modern Olympics were held in 1896. ("Olympic Games")  The events were track and field, weightlifting, fencing, cycling, shooting, tennis, wrestling, swimming, and gymnastics. They were reformed to bring nations together so there could be an end to violence between nations. Fourteen nations competed in the first modern Olympics. Most of the athletes were Greed, though. (Gettings) There were some awards at the first games, although they weren’t like the awards of today. In first place, the winners received a silver medal, a crown of olive branches and a certificate.

Everyone else won a commemorative medal (Olympic legacy.com) Although the first Olympics did not include winter sports, in1924 the Olympics expanded to include winter sports, such a skiing.
