The Olympic Games have a very long history. As far as I know they began in Greece in ancient times and a lot of people were involved in the games. The ancient list of kind of sports included running, wrestling, boxing, discus throwing, the pentathlon and so on. Modern list includes various kinds such as jumping, basketball, volleyball, hockey, swimming and other popular kinds. Many nations of the world support their athletic teams during the competitions. There are two types of games: Olympic winter and summer games.
Nowadays not only amateurs, but also professional athletes can take part in these games. Each country should send a team of the best athletes and the whole nation supports them. The winners of each event are given not only certain number of points, but also some prizes and medals.
The Olympic games are extremely popular nowadays, that is why a lot of people consider them to be important. These games provide us an opportunity to meet like-minded people, get acquainted with foreigners and learn something new. Moreover, the International Olympic Committee decides where each Olympics will be held and ask different cities to be hosts. It can help in resolving the national economic problems or just to broaden the horizons of some nations. That is why I like The Olympic Games. They unite the world and remind us about the importance of peace.
