∙ 11y agoso many countries...i think:)
There were 204 countries in the parade of nations. So 204!
Greece was the country that started the Olympics so they won in the first olympics.
It's in the Olympics, with many countries competing, so I guess that would qualify it as being international :)
For all of the countries to do all the sports in the Olympics there has to be a certain amount of them in the team. However it is possible for a country to participate in all of the sports. Some of the countries this year only have a couple of players so no. All of the countries in the Olympics do not do all sports.
We need to learn about the Olympics so we have a better inderstanding about our countries history in sport and sportsmanship.
London, England is going to be the only countrie to have held the Olympics three times. So far they have held it in 1908 and 1948. In 2012 they will be holding the Olympics again. Many countries have held the Olympics twice. Such as Greece and Australia.

I think the earliest that China was in the olympic games was in 1956. go search wikipedia for it and scroll down to the list of participating countries. Australia was involved in the very first of the modern Olympic games in 1896 (although this is a debatable point). They have participated in every Olympics since, one of only a couple of countries to do so.
60 olympics held so far
Because it involved so many countries in so many parts of the world. WW1 was 1914 to 1918. WW2 1939 to 1945
The Olympics are an athletic event, not a religious event. Any person who has a sufficiently good athletic ability can compete in the Olympics, no matter what religious belief that person may have. Olympic competitors are sponsored by their nation of origin, so nationality does get involved, but religion does not.
