Traditionally, the first Olympic games are thought to have started in 776 BC, when Heracles (also known as Hercules) brought an olive tree up to Olympia. Once established, the games were then held every four years (a period of time known as an Olympiad).
The first official "Olympic" games of our times was held in Athens, Greece in 1896. It featured 241 athletes from 14 nations, competing in 43 events.
