Suveolümpiamänge

Suveolümpiamänge, also known as the Summer Olympic Games, are the premier international multi-sport event held every four years. They trace their origins back to the ancient Olympic Games, which were held in Olympia, Greece, from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD. The modern Olympic Games were revived by Pierre de Coubertin in 1896 in Athens, Greece.

The Games feature a wide array of athletic competitions in disciplines such as athletics, swimming, gymnastics, cycling, and many more. Athletes from virtually every nation on Earth participate, striving for glory and aiming to set new records. The organization of the Summer Olympics is overseen by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

Each Games is hosted by a different city, selected through a rigorous bidding process. The host city is responsible for providing the necessary infrastructure, including stadiums, athlete villages, and transportation. The Games are a significant cultural and economic event for the host nation, attracting millions of spectators and generating substantial global media coverage.

The Olympic Games are guided by the Olympic Charter, which outlines the principles and values of Olympism, emphasizing friendship, solidarity, and fair play. The iconic Olympic rings symbolize the unity of the five inhabited continents and the meeting of athletes from around the world. The Games are not just about athletic achievement but also about promoting peace and understanding among nations.
