Olympics #shorts

The Olympics have a rich history! The first modern Olympics took place in Athens, Greece in 1896. The Olympic rings represent 5 continents: Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, and the Americas. The torch is lit at the site of the ancient Olympics in Olympia, Greece, and then relayed to the host city. The Olympics have been canceled 3 times: 1916, 1940, and 1944, due to World War I and II. The youngest Olympic medalist is Dimitrios Loundras, who won a gymnastics medal at just 10 years old in 1896! #Olympics #OlympicFacts #Sports #History #Athens #Greece #OlympicRings #TorchRelay #Medalists
