🔊 After the arrival of the Romans in Greece, the Olympic Games were banned, as they were considered relics of paganism, the Christian world did not recognize other religions. Therefore, for many years the Olympic Games were outlawed, and only at the end of the 19th century, French Baron Pierre de Coubertin proposed to revive the tradition of the Olympic Games in order to unite all nations in a friendly competition in sports. Since then and to this day, the Olympic Games have been held every four years in different countries of the world. 🔊 Games today are significantly different from the ancients. They are divided into winter and summer ones, women participate in games on an equal basis with men, new sports have been added to the games program. The modern Olympic Games are not only a sports competition, but also a grand show. Nevertheless, some of the traditions of the Olympics remained unchanged. 🔊 One of the most recognizable symbols of the Olympic Games is the Olympic flame.
