The Olympics, formally known as the Olympic Games, is a major international multi-sport event featuring summer and winter sports competitions in which thousands of athletes from around the world participate in a variety of events. The modern Olympics are held every four years, with the Summer and Winter Games alternating every two years within that cycle. The origins of the Olympic Games date back to ancient Greece, where they were held in Olympia from at least 776 BC in honor of Zeus. The modern revival began in 1896, initiated by Pierre de Coubertin, and has since evolved into a global celebration of athletic achievement, cultural exchange, and international unity. The Olympic movement also includes the Olympic Charter, which outlines the fundamental principles of the Games, including promoting peace, friendship, and respect among nations. The Olympics are governed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which oversees the organization of both the Summer and Winter Games, as well as the biennial Youth Olympic Games and various other initiatives promoting sports and fitness worldwide.
