  1. The Olympic Games

  2. Long ago ancient Greeks often waged wars. The ruler of a small state, Elis, wanted to live in peace with all neighbors. • He was a good diplomat and Elis was recognized a neutral state. To celebrate this achievement, he organized athletic games. The games were held every four years in Olympia on the territory of Elis. The first games which later were called the Olympic Games were held about a thousand years before our era.

  3. All athletes took an oath that they had been preparing well for the Games and promised to compete honestly and keep the rules of the sacred Olympics. • Only men could take part in the Olympic Games. • Winners were called «olympionics», they were awarded olive wreaths and cups of olive oil. • This tradition has survived. In our time sportsmen often get cups and wreaths for winning the first place in sports competitions.

  4. The Olympic Games had been held for about eleven hundred years, until the emperor Theodosius banned them for religious reasons in 394 A. D. • On the 23rd of June 1894 the International Congress of amateur sportsmen made an important decision: to revive the Olympic Games.
