I would like to write history of the Olympics. Firstly, I will write it from the origin of the name. The Olympics come from Olympos (Olympia) where there was a shrine of Zeus. In addition, it was named the Olympics because the Ancient Olympian Games were held in this ground. I was called Olympic before the war.
The Olympics are held in the summer and the winter season. The Game of the Olympiad first was held in Athens in Greece in 1896. The first of the Winter Olympics was held on Chamonix Mont Blanc in France in 1924. After 1994, I will hold Game of the Olympiad in the year when the Christian era is divisible with 4. In addition, I will hold the Winter Olympics to the age that I divide it by 4, and 2 is beyond. The Winter Olympics is the same as the age that FIFA World Cup is held.
I focus on the first summer Olympics and the first Winter Olympics from here and would like to write it. The participating nation of the Athens Olympics of the first summer Olympics was 14 countries. The participation number of people is approximately 245 people. The number of the events was 8 competitions and 43rd kind. It was only a boy that the people were able to participate in the first Olympics. There is the participation of the girl after the second Olympics. . This Athens Olympics were proposed by Baron Pierre de Coubertin impressed by the Ancient Olympian Games. An American was the first place in all races in the preliminary of track-and-field 100m. The mixed team of the country participated in those days not a country because it was the participation in individuals. There was not the gold medal and, by financial circumstances, won by the first Olympics. Therefore a bronze medal was given a silver medal, a player of the second place to a champion. And a certificate of merit was conferred on a player of the third place.
The participating nation of the Chamonix Olympics of the first Winter Olympics was 16 countries. The participation number of people was approximately 258 people. The event was 4 competitions and 14th kind. Norway won most medals in this Chamonix Olympics. Japan thought about player dispatch to participate in the Olympics. But Japan shelved dispatch under the influence of the Great Kanto Earthquake generated in the last year.
