Olympische Spelen

The term “Olympische Spelen” refers to the Olympic Games, a major international multi-sport event held every four years, featuring summer and winter sports competitions. The games are celebrated by athletes from around the world who compete in various sports to showcase their skills and represent their countries. The modern Olympics are inspired by the ancient Olympic Games, which were held in Olympia, Greece, from 776 BC until AD 393. The modern version was revived in the late 19th century by Pierre de Coubertin and has since grown to include a wide array of sports and the participation of numerous nations. The event aims to promote peace, unity, and athletic excellence through international competition. The Olympic Games also include ceremonies, cultural events, and the notable Olympic flame, symbolizing the continuity of the games from ancient times to the present.
