Answer Question

4 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The Olympics are held every four years owning to the length of Olympiad which is four years. Olympiad was a method of keeping time in the ancient Greece. Later on it was used for the Olympics in both the ancient and the modern times. The Olympics were first held in the modern times in 1896 after it was discontinued in the medieval times. Since then it is held every four years with the exception of the time during the world war.

    The Olympics is the biggest sports festival in the world. It is the greatest platform for the sportsmen to showcase their talent and prove their skill in an international venue. It is a matter of great pride and honour to win an Olympic medal and all the nations aim at trying to win it. It is held in a different country every four years though in the ancient times it was always held in the Olympus Mountain in Athens.
