Best Answer

The original Olympics was formed roughly in the year BC. If you were talking about the new Olympics the were recommenced in the year 1896 in Athens Greece. The choice of country was made by a comity organized by Pierre de Coubertin due to the fact that the original Olympics were founded in ancient Greece.

BTW why not just look it up on Google, it would have been just as easy as me answering your question...
