The Olympic Games , an international sports Festival which takes place every four years , are particularly famous for athletics. But they also include individual sports , like swimming and team sports , like football and hockey. For sportsmen and sportswomen everywhere , taking part in the Games is usually the highlight of their career . t first, the Olympic Games were part of a religious festival in ancient Greece. The only sport at that time was a running race. !ater, longer races were added , together with bo"ing . The #omans con$uered Greece during the second century B% and , soon after , the Games lost their religious meaning. thletes were only interested in money, so , in &'(, The Games were stopped. Fifteen hundred years later , archaeologists discovered the ancient Olympic *tadium , which had been destroyed in an earth$uake. This discovery gave people an idea. They thought that individual athletes would benefit if the Olympic Games started again , they also believed that the Games would help the world to be a more peaceful place. *o, in 1+(,, The first modern Games took place in Greece . gain , the Olympics were only for amateurs - no one was paid to take part. lthough competitors are still not paid to take part, some countries now train and pay future professional Olympic athletes , so they are not really amateurs . *ome say this is not fair. since the modern Olympics began over a hundred years ago, athletes have been getting faster and stronger and , at every Games , world records have been broken /ola %udd .
