The Olympic Games have a long history. The first Olympic Games took place in ancient Greece in 776 BCE. The first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896. They were not as big as the Olympics today. Only 311 athletes from 14 countries took part, and there were fewer events than in the present-day Olympics. Still, for the late 19th century, the 1896 Olympics were a great success. Ever since then, the competition has become more and more popular.
