What do you know about The Olympic Games

The Olympic games is a modified revival of the Olympian games and were inaugurated in the spring 1896, largely through the effort of the French sportsman and educator Baron Pierre de Courbertin. This competition evolved into the Summer Olympics. The Winter Olympics were begun in 1924 and have been held ever since in the same year as the Summer Olympics; however in 1994 the winter games started to alternate with the summer games.
