Hitler started the Olympics in 1936.

Hitler merely declared the Games open in 1936, he had nothing to do with starting the Olympic Movement. The most widely held estimate for the inception of the Ancient Olympics is 776 BC.

The Olympic Games, were first revived with a modern international Olympic Games held in 1859 in Athens, Greece. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) was founded in 1894 on the initiative of a French nobleman, Pierre Frédy, Baron de Coubertin. His vision was to bring together amateur athletes from around the world to compete in a variety of events. The First Olympic Games to be held under the IOC was Athens in 1896.

Nobody knows exactly when the Olympic Games began, but we do know where-- in Olympia, a city in ancient Greece. The first written mention that we know about comes from 776 BCE (some sources use BC), when one of the competitors wrote about his victory in a foot-race; but the competition may have been taking place years before that. The original games were held in honor of the god Zeus.
