at a place called Olympia in Ancient Greece. There have

been two Olympic eras — ancient and modern. The ancient Olympic games took place in 776 before Christy, and since then they are held every four years. The modern era began in 1896 when a Frenchman called Baron Pierre de Coubertin revived the Games.
Now Olympic games are divided into summer and winter games which last for 16 days each.
There was always a flame at the ancient Games at the Opening Ceremony. It was used in the modern Olympic Games in 1928 (in Amsterdam). It is lit at Olympia from the rays of the sun. Then it's carried to the Games by thousands of runners. It burns in the stadium from start to finish at every Olympics.
The symbol of the Olympic Games is 5 rings. Each ring is in different colour: blue, black, red, yellow and green (all against a white background). Every national flag in the world contains one or more of these five colours.
The motto of the Olympic movement is Citius, altius, fortius which is Latin for Faster, high­er, stronger.
