History of the Olympics

The Olympic Games were started in ancient Greece 3,000 years ago and they were brought back to life in the 19th century. At the beginning, the Olympic Games were a celebration. People participated to honor the god Zeus, every four years from the 8th century B.C. to the 4th century A.D. The first modern Olympic Games took place in Athens, in 1896 with only 280 athletes from 13 nations. The participants competed in 43 competitions In 1994, the Summer Olympic Games and the Winter Olympic Games were split. Today, the Olympics are the most important sports competition in the world with more than 300 events. In 1896, track and field, gymnastics, swimming, shooting, fencing, cycling, tennis, weightlifting, and others like figure skating and ice hockey were added.

History of the Olympics

Sports of the Olympic Games

At the first Olympic Games in 1896, there were nine sports contested. Since that time many sports have been added (and removed too) from the program. Only five sports have been contested at every summer Olympic Games since 1896: Athletics, Cycling, Fencing, Gymnastics and Swimming.

In 2012 there were 26 sports contested, and in 2016 there was 28, and 33 are scheduled for 2020 (see list). In addition to the official sports on the program, there are other recognized sports that are set for possible inclusion in the future. See also the pages about the number of sports at each Olympiad, and also the changes over time.

Recent Changes

After the 2008 Olympics the sports of Baseball and Softball were dropped from the program. In August 2009 the International Olympic Committee (IOC) voted on the two sports to be added to the program for Rio 2016. There was a list of seven sports that they chose from: golf, rugby union, roller sports, karate, softball, baseball and squash. They selected golf and rugby union.

There are many other possible new sports for future Games. In February 2013, wrestling was dropped from the core sports list, and joined with baseball and softball (joint bid), climbing, karate, roller sport, squash, wakeboard and wushu to attempt to gain a place on the program for 2020. In May 2013 the IOC cut Karate, roller sports, sport climbing, wakeboarding and wushu from this list, leaving Baseball-softball, squash and wrestling to be shortlisted. Then in September 2013, they voted to return wrestling to the list of sports for the 2020 Olympic program. In 2015, further voting was held for the inclusion of more sports.
