The first modern Olympic Games were reintroduced in Athens Greece at 1896 thanks to the efforts of a French noble Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a British sportsman Dr William Penny Brooks who was organizing annual sport events known as "wenlock Olympian Society Annual Games" and a Greek philanthropist Evangelos Zappas who had sponsored the revival of the Olympic Games by compensating the expenses of the refurbishment of Panathinaikon Stadion of Athens at 1856 at first. The first modern Olympics was held in Athens, Greece in 1896.
