The Olympic Games as we know them today have a long history that dates back to Antiquity. It all started in Greece, in the Peloponnese, about 3,000 years ago.
According to historical records, the first ancient Olympic Games can be traced back to 776 BC. They were dedicated to the Olympian gods and were staged on the ancient plains of Olympia. The games continued for nearly 12 centuries, until Emperor Theodosius decreed in 393 A.D. that all such "pagan cults" be banned.
