the olympic game
when the next olympic games begin,satellites will carry T.V. pictures of the opening ceremony to
millions of people thousands of miles away. From their armchairs these people will be able to
their countrys's athletes competing in various events.
When we consider the size, the spectacle and the commercialism of the modem Olympic Games,it is
difficult to remember that they started in Olympia in Greece in 776 BC with only one race,a sprint, for which the prize for the winner was an olive wreath.
