The Olympic Games, as we know them now, have a long history dating back to ancient times. It all started in the Peloponnese, Greece, about 3,000 years ago. Sports competitions were held in Olympia and got their name from the venue of the Olympic Games. No one knows exactly when they began, but the first written mention dates back to 776 BC. The Games were held in the same location every four years. This four-year period was called the Olympiad and was used as a reckoning system: time was measured in Olympiads, not in years.
