With the 2018 Winter Olympics already wrapped up, it is only two short years before the next Summer Olympics. These games draw on ancient Greek tradition, but their modern form can be traced back to the Games of the I Olympiad that were held this month in 1896.
Like the ancient Olympics, the first Summer Games was held in Greece. Organizers wanted to make the event the largest international sporting competition in the world. Planning began in 1894, but it was two full years before they got the funding to fix up the stadiums in Athens that were used for the Games. Athletes from 14 countries came to compete in nine different sports.
隨著 2018 年冬季奧運的結束，距離下次的夏季奧運僅剩短短兩年。這些大型運動會利用了古希臘的傳統，但其現代形式可以追溯到 1896 年四月開始舉辦的第一屆奧林匹克運動會。
就像是古奧林匹克運動會，最初的夏季奧林匹克運動會在希臘舉辦。主辦單位想把這項比賽變成全球最大的國際體育競賽。這場賽事於 1894 年開始籌劃，但過了整整兩年他們才得到修繕那些從前用來舉辦雅典奧運的場館款項。來自十四個國家的運動員參與了九項不同的體育賽事。
