Максимально сократить текст, оставив при этом суть и содержаниеhistory of the olympic gamesthe olympic games are an international sports festival that began in ancient greece. the original greek games took place every fourth year for several hundred years, until they were brought to an end in the early christian era. the olympic games were renewed in 1896, and since then they have been staged every fourth year, except during world war i and world war ii. perhaps the main difference between the ancient and modern olympics is that for the ancient greeks the games were a way of saluting their gods, when the modern games are a manner of saluting the athletic talents of people of all nations. the original olympics included competitions in music, oratory, and the theatre performances as well. the modern games haven't got them, but they represent a lot more sports than before. for two weeks and a half any international conflicts must be stopped and replaced with friendly competitions. this is the noble idea on which the modern olympic movement is based.the earliest record of the olympic games goes back to 776 bc, but historians think that the games began well before then. the ancient games were held in honour of zeus, the most important god for ancient greeks. according to the earliest records, only one athletic event was held in the ancient olympics - a footrace of about 183 metres, or the length of the stadium. a cook, coroibus of elis was the first recorded winner. only men were allowed to compete or watch the games. when the powerful, warlike spartans began to compete, they changed the programme of the games.the 18th olympics already included wrestling and pentathlon and later games - chariot races and other sports. the winners of the games were highly praised and honoured for their results. in 394 ad the games were officially ended by the roman emperor theodosius, who felt that they had pagan meaning. pierre de coubertin, a young french nobleman, had an idea to bring the olympic games back to life. with the help of the people who supported him he managed to organize the first modern olympic games in 1896. baron de coubertin had planned to hold the olympic games in france, but the representatives from the nine countries that supported his idea decided that greece was the right place to host the first olympic games. the nine countries were belgium, england, france, greece, italy, russia, spain, sweden and the united states. they agreed that every four years the olympic games will move to other big cities in the world.the athens games in 1896 were a success. athlets from thirteen countries competed in nine sports. the second olympiad was held in france in 1900. 2004 summer olympics were held in athens, greece, and took 201 countries. usa took first place. and russia took the third place.beginning in 1924 the winter olympics were included. theywere held in the same year as the summer games, but starting in 1994, the winter games held two years after the summer games. the olympics manages the international olympic committee in lausanne, switzerland.
