Later on the games were organized several times more. They can be considered the previous types of sport games which are known as the Olympics. The founder of modern Olympics was a Frenchman, Pierre de Fredy, Baron de Coubertin. Keeping with the romantic notion of the Olympic revival, it was decided to hold the first Olympic Games in Athens, in Greece. It was in 1896. Only 12 countries were represented there. Despite many problems which existed in Athens, the Olympic Games had been introduced to stop wars. The main motto of the Olympics was: Faster! Higher! Stronger! From that time the Olympics were held more or less regularly, depending on the political situation on the continent and in European countries. In 1990 they were held in Paris, in 1992 – in Alberwill, in 1994 – in Lillehammer, in 1998 – in Nogano and so on and so forth. The 22nd Olympic Games were organized in Moscow. Our sportsmen were very brave and strong and won 60 gold, 64 silver and 49 bronze medals there. There were the best results among other national teams. The modern Olympics were organized to encourage peace and friendship in the world and to promote amateur kinds of sport among sportsmen of different countries. The Olympics symbol consists of five interlocking rings that represent the continents: Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North and South America. The rings are black, blue, green, red and yellow. The flag of every country competing in the games has at least one of these colours. The Olympic Games are held every two years now in winter and in summer.
