History of Olympics



Olympics started all the way back in 8th century B.C. and continued strong until sometime in 5th century A.D. Nobody really seemed to care about the disappearance of the Olympics until Pierre de Coubertin came around in the late 19th century and worked tirelessly to revive the Olympics. He founded the IOC in 1894 (200 years before the greatest event in history: my birth) and the Olympic games finally occurred again 2 years later.
We have Pierre to thank for the domination of Michal Phelps and Apollo.
