Almost 2,800 years ago the Ancient Greeks held a sporting event every four years on Mount Olympus. 

The festival was part competition, part religious celebration, and it was considered so important that wars would come to a halt in honor of the games.
Then in the 19th century, one man came up with the idea of bringing the games back to life. 
Learn more about the Modern Olympic Movement on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
