The earliest record of the ancient Olympic Games can be traced back to 776 BC. The ancient Olympic Games was founded to worship the gods of Olympia. It is located on the Olympia Plain in ancient Greece and is famous for its magnificent temples of Zeus and Hera. Participants came from all corners of ancient Greece, and they flocked to get the final prize: the crown made of olive branch, and they could return home in triumph. The Olympic cycle refers to the four-year interval from the beginning of this Olympic Games to the opening of the next Olympic Games.

The first modern Olympic Games was held in Athens on 1896. 300 athletes from 13 countries participated in the conference and participated in 9 events, namely: track and field, swimming, cycling, fencing, gymnastics, shooting, lawn tennis, wrestling and weightlifting. Since then, the Olympic Games has been promoted to an international competition, which is held every four years. The second Olympic Games was held in Paris in 1900. The founder of the modern Olympic Games is the French aristocrat Coubertin.

1894, he arranged for 78 leaders of 37 sports organizations to hold an international conference, at which everyone unanimously agreed to resume the Olympic Games and establish the International Olympic Committee. Coubertin originally envisaged that the first Olympic Games in the new century would be held in Paris, but under the persuasion of the linguist de Mitriu-ViKailas living in Paris, Coubertin agreed to let Greece become the host country of the 1896 Olympic Games.

Therefore, Coubertin is also called the father of modern Olympics.
