Since its reemergence in 1896, the modern Olympic movement has been shaped and influenced politically through the tensions between countries, economically through financial gain opportunity, and socially by promoting women’s rights.

The original Greek games were staged every fourth year for several hundred years, until they were abolished in the early Christian era. The revival of the Olympic Games took place in 1896, and since then they have been staged every fourth year, except during World War I and World War II (1916, 1940, 1944).

Paris' 1924 Olympic was different than any other previous Olympics. Sport had become a universally popular activity, particularly as a spectator event, and around 1,000 journalists were present in Paris to report back around the world.

We would gather around the old box television and cheer on Notre Dame football and basketball, Detroit Tigers baseball, and every two years, the U.S. Olympic teams.

Since Zatopek has good character
