                    [Summary] => The Olympic Games, planet Earth’s greatest sports spectacle, not only is an extravaganza showing humankind’s "cream of the crop" young athletes in action.


It also gives lessons in history, geography, and culture.


At best, the Games tells the world how the  Family of Nations has grown.


Throughout the millennia, notably since the Olympic Games began in Greece about 3,000 years ago, the world has expanded, shrunk, expanded and shrunk.

                    [Summary] => 
(Last of two parts)
The amateur sports world owes the revival of the Olympic Games to a Frenchman–Pierre de Coubertin. He conceived the idea of reviving the Games when he was 24.


For years, de Coubertin (born in Paris on Jan. 1, 1863), who was not even a sportsman and felt more at home with literature, education, and sociology, nurtured this grand dream, preparing public opinion to support his plan not only in France but also in England and the United States.

It also gives lessons in history, geography, and culture.


At best, the Games tells the world how the  Family of Nations has grown.


Throughout the millennia, notably since the Olympic Games began in Greece about 3,000 years ago, the world has expanded, shrunk, expanded and shrunk.

The amateur sports world owes the revival of the Olympic Games to a Frenchman–Pierre de Coubertin. He conceived the idea of reviving the Games when he was 24.


For years, de Coubertin (born in Paris on Jan. 1, 1863), who was not even a sportsman and felt more at home with literature, education, and sociology, nurtured this grand dream, preparing public opinion to support his plan not only in France but also in England and the United States.
