The Olympic Games, commonly referred to as the Olympics, are a major international event featuring summer and winter sports competitions in which thousands of athletes from around the world participate in a variety of competitions. The Games are held every four years, with the Summer and Winter Games alternating by occurring every four years but two years apart.

The Olympic Games are governed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which was founded in 1894 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin. The first modern Olympics were held in Athens, Greece, in 1896. The Games have since grown to include over 200 nations and feature a wide range of sports, from athletics and swimming to skiing and figure skating.

The Olympic Games are not only a celebration of athletic achievement but also a symbol of international cooperation and unity. The Olympic motto, "Citius, Altius, Fortius" (Faster, Higher, Stronger), reflects the spirit of competition and excellence that defines the Games.

The Olympic Games have faced numerous challenges over the years, including political controversies, boycotts, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the 2020 Games in Tokyo. Despite these challenges, the Olympics remain a global phenomenon that brings people together from all corners of the world.
