At the end of the nineteenth century a Frenchman called Baron Pierre de a Coubertin decided to try to revive the Olympic Games. At that time, Europe was divided by wars. Coubertin thought that the Olympic Games could help to bring peace. He thought highly of спорт. He described the Olympic spirit in the following words: The important thing is not winning but taking part. These words are still remembered today. Coubertin believed very strongly that sportsmen must not compete for money, but for glory and for the honour of their country. At first, nobody was interested in his ideas. But Coubertin did not give up and worked hard. In 1894, he formed the International Olympic Committee and on 5 April 1896, The Olympic Games began again, after nearly fifteen centuries. In 1913, Coubertin found and emblem of five linked rings. They became a symbol of the Olympic Games. These five rings represent five parts of the world: Europe, America, Australia, Africa, and Asia. Since then the Olympic Games have become the most important sports event in the world. They are held once every four years. The greatest wish for all the sportsmen is to win a medal, or simply to take part in the Olympic Games.
