The Olympic Games – did you know...?

International Olympic Committee

The International Olympic Committee was created by Pierre de Coubertin on 23rd June 1894, with Demetrios Vikelas serving as its first president. As of 2019, its membership consists of 95 active members, 44 honorary members, an honorary president (Jacques Rogge) and two honour members (Henry Kissinger and Youssoupha Ndiaye).

The history of the Olympics

The Olympic Games, which originated in ancient Greece as many as 3,000 years ago, were revived in the late 19th century, and have become one of the world’s favourite sporting competitions.

The Games were named for their original location at Olympia. Their influence was so great that ancient historians began to measure time by the four-year increments between Olympic Games, which were known as Olympiads. (The Paris 2024 Games are officially known as the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad).

The Opening Ceremony

During the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, tradition dictates that the procession of athletes is always led by the Greek team, followed by all the other teams in alphabetical order (based on the language of the hosting country) except for the last team which is always the team of the host nation.
