Answer:

The history of the modern summer Olympic games

Summer Olympic games go back far in time, as many people and generations before us played and enjoyed them. The inaugural games took place in 1896 in Athens, Greece. The Olympics were attended by as many as 280 athletes, all-male, coming from 12 countries. The athletes participated in 43 events covering athletics (track and field), swimming, cycling, gymnastics, weightlifting, tennis, shooting, fencing, and wrestling.    

An estimate of over 60,000 people attended the festive atmosphere, which shows that the Summer Olympic Games were a big deal in ancient Greece.

 The track-and-field events partook at the Panathenaic Stadium. The stadium, originally built in 330 BCE, had been excavated and not rebuilt for the 1870 Greek Olympics and lay in disrepair before the 1896 Olympics. Through the direction and financial assistance of Georgios Averoff, a rich Egyptian Greek, it was restored with nothing but white marble. The ancient track had an oddly elongated shape with such sharp turns that runners had no choice but to slow down greatly to stay in their running lanes. The track-and-field contest was ruled by athletes from the U.S, who won 9 of the 12 events. The swimming events took place in the chilling currents of the Bay of Zea. Two of the four swimming races were won by Alfred Hajos of Hungary. Paul Masson of Frace had won three of the six cycling events. To sum it up, the summer Olympic games were a big deal to people throughout history and the modern-day generation.

History of the Modern Summer Olympics The

Summer Olympics dates back as long as many people and generations before we participated and enjoyed it. The opening game was held in Athens, Greece in 1896. Up to 280 athletes (all men) from 12 countries participated in the Olympics. Athletes have participated in 43 events such as athletics (athletics), swimming, cycling, gymnastics, weightlifting, tennis, shooting, fences, and wrestling.  An estimated 60,000 people participated in the festive atmosphere, demonstrating that the Summer Olympics were a big deal in ancient Greece. The

athletics event took place at Panatenak Stadium. Originally built for the Greek Olympics of 330 BC and 1870 BC, the stadium was never excavated and rebuilt and was devastated before the 1896 Olympics. Under the guidance and financial support of the wealthy Egyptian Greek, Georgios Averov, it was restored solely in white marble. The old track had a strangely elongated shape and had very sharp turns that forced the runner to slow down slowly and stay on the track. Athletics was dominated by US athletes who won nine of the twelve events. The swimming competition was held in the cool current of Marina Zeas. Two of the four swimming races were won by Alfred Hayosh of Hungary. France's Paul Masson won three of the six cycling races. In summary, the Summer Olympics have been a major problem for people and for the present generation throughout history.
