Üldolümpiamängudel

Üldolümpiamängudel, more commonly known as the Olympic Games, is a major international multi-sport event celebrated every four years. Originating in ancient Greece as a religious festival dedicated to Zeus, the modern Olympic Games were revived by Pierre de Coubertin in the late 19th century. The first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896.

The Games feature thousands of athletes competing in a wide array of summer and winter sports. Athletes represent their respective countries, and medals are awarded in gold, silver, and bronze for first, second, and third place, respectively. The Olympic Charter governs the organization and operation of the Games. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is the supreme authority, responsible for selecting host cities, overseeing the program of sports, and promoting the Olympic spirit.

The Olympic Games are a significant cultural and sporting phenomenon, bringing together people from diverse backgrounds and fostering a spirit of friendly competition and international understanding. They are also a major economic event for host cities, attracting tourism and investment. The Games have evolved considerably since their inception, with the inclusion of new sports, the growth of professional athlete participation, and increasing global media coverage. The Olympic motto, "Citius, Altius, Fortius" (Faster, Higher, Stronger), reflects the ideals of striving for excellence.
