In ancient Greece, sports festivals were important. The Olympian sports festival was held every four years in honour of Zeus. It's called the ancient Olympic Games and first took place in Greece.
The games took place in August at Olympia. A large number of audience went there from all parts of Greece. Three kinds of sports were included in the ancient Olympic Games. They
were running, boxing and wrestling.
On the last day of the Games, all the winners were given a ring of olive leaves. Olympic winners received no prize money. But they were highly respected by their government.
Nowadays, the Games are held in different countries in turn. The host country needs to provide a main stadium, swimming pools and an Olympic Village, but the countries that will take part in the Games must cover the costs of their own athletes.
The Olympics start when the Olympic torch (火炬) arrives at the main stadium. The torch is lit on Mount Olympus by the sun. It is carried by a number of runners following each other to the main stadium. The torch stands for the spirit of the ancient Olympics, and it burns throughout the Games till the end of it. The five Olympic rings stand for all five continents (洲) taking part in the Games.
