The first city to light the Olympic flame was.. ATHENS, GREECE:D Hope my input helped!! :DThe first city to light the Olympic flame is always the ancient Greek city of Olympia where the Games originate from.
No, London has already hosted three Olympic Games. It hosted the games in 1908, 1948, and 2012. So it is not the first city to achieve this feat.
The first sports event called the Olympic games in the modern era was held in Much Wenlock (a village in England) in 1850. The first Olympiad organised by the IOC was held in Athens in 1896.
That would be Paris and the 1900 Summer Olympics. Charlotte Cooper of Great Britain was the first woman to win a gold medal at the Olympic Games when she won the Ladies Singles competition in tennis.
* The ancient Olympic Games were always held in Olympia, Greece. * The modern Olympic Games were first held in Athens in 1896, and were held there again in 1906, as the first of a second series of Olympic Games, the intercalated games, to be held in Anthens every four years in between the games being organised by cities around the globe. Though Athens 1906 had a big influence on the Olympic movement, the series didn't continue, making 1906 a bit of an exception, usually ignored in lists about the Olympic Games. * Paris was the first city to host the Olympic Games twice, hosting them in 1900 and again in 1924. (Ignoring the intercalated games.) * Counting the intercalated games, Athens was the first city to host the modern games trice: 1896, 1906, 2004.

It depends on what era of the Games that your talking about. The Ancients Olympics were held at Olympia, hence the name Olympics. And in the 1800s, when the Modern Olympics started; Athens was the first city to host the new Games.
Olympic games were initially started in in the city of Athens in 1896
