Clever Hedgehog’s Report on Olympic Games for Kids

Clever Hedgehog has visited the 2024 Summer Olympic Games, and he wants to tell you all about them!

The Olympic Games are a series of big sports events that happen every four years. Athletes from all over the world come together to compete in different sports like running 🏃‍♀️, swimming 🏊‍♀️, gymnastics 🤸‍♀️, and more. Athletes train for years to compete, and winning a medal 🏅 at the Olympics is one of the highest honors in sports.

History of the Olympic Games

The Olympics have been around for a very long time. The first recorded Olympic Games were held in ancient Greece in 776 BC in the city of Olympia. These early games featured primarily foot races 🏃‍♀️. The ancient Olympics continued for nearly 1,200 years.

The modern Olympic Games, inspired by the ancient tradition, were revived in 1896 in Athens, Greece. This event marked the beginning of the Olympic Games as we know them today.

The five Olympic rings – blue, yellow, black, green, and red – are the emblem of the Olympic Games. Did you know that these rings represent the five regions of the world – Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania?
