The Olympic Games, or Olympics for short, is an international athletic and sports competition held every 4 years in Summer in a different country, with the Winter Olympic Games held every 4 years too, but right in-between the Summer Olympic Games calendar, so both events alternate every 2 years.
It follows the tradition of the ancient Olympian Games which were held in Greece.
the Olympics is a sporting event that people come from all over the world to play or just to watch.
It is played in a different country every time its played
(e.g Japan 1987) (Brazil 2001)
The winner of the sport gets a gold medal, second gets a silver medal, third gets a bronze medal.
