OLYMPIC MOVEMENT

• The Olympic Movement also referred as Olympism
  has its roots in the beliefs of ancient Greeks
  who encouraged people to develop their physical,
  moral, intellectual, cultural and artistic
  qualities harmoniously. This task could be
  achieved by blending sport with educational and
  cultural activities. Olympism was celebrated
  through the Ancient Olympic Games.

OLYMPIC HISTORY

• The Ancient Greek Olympics were held every
  four years at Olympia, a district of Elis, where
  all free Greek men were entitled to compete. The
  first Olympic Games were held in 776 B.C. and the
  last in A.D. 393, when they were abolished by the
  Christian Byzantine Emperor Theodosius I.

Modern Olympism

• Frenchman Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of

  better and more peaceful world through the
  education movement for young people worldwide.
