The Olympic Games began in the fifth century BC. The first games were the most simple
ones: the competition consisted of a single foot race. Other ancient Greek festivals have
included many more events– jumping, wrestling, & so on.

In the original games, winning as a sport brought the highest possible honour to the athlete
& his family. Best prize of all was a simple crown of olive leaves. Later, however, the Greeks
have begun paying athletes, & they become interested more in money than in honour.

In recent years, too, there have been problems with the professionalism of Olympic
competitors. Only “amateurs” may compete in the games, but there have been many
examples lately of athletes who have received money for participation in sports.

From the beginning of the modern Olympic Games in 1896 up to now, there have been
many special, exciting moments. Since networks have been televising the games, people all
over the world shared these events, & of course, most people have read about them in the
newspaper.

One of the most exciting Olympic moments occurred in 1904 when the Cuban runner Felix
Carvajal lost his money in New Orleans & can’t take the train to the games in St Louis,
Missouri. To participate in a race, he has had to run the 700 miles to St Louis.
