The origins of the Olympic Games can be traced back to ancient Greece, to as far back as 776 B.C.
It was a Greek tradition to hold athletic competitions every four years in honour of their gods or dead heroes.
The prizes awarded to the winners of each event in those days were a crown of olive and a palm branch. Although this may seem meaningless in modern times, the true prize lay in the honour of having won the event. The winners were given places of honour on public occasions. In some towns they even exempted (be free) from paying taxes.
The first modern Olympic games were held in Athens in 1896. Since then, nations from around the world have been meeting every four years to compete against one another.

The only exception to this quadrennial event was in 1944, when the Olympic games were not held because of the Second World war. {trace: find the origin of}
