一場跨越古今的體育盛會，重新點燃世界對競技的熱情。
A global sporting tradition was reborn, uniting nations through competition and marking the beginning of a new era in international athletics and cultural exchange.
1896年：
首屆現代奧林匹克運動會於希臘雅典正式開幕，標誌著現代奧運時代的開始。
本屆奧運由法國教育家Pierre de Coubertin倡議復辦，旨在透過體育競技促進國際交流與和平。比賽於歷史悠久的帕那辛奈克體育場舉行，共有來自14個國家的約240名運動員參與。
比賽項目包括田徑、體操、游泳、射擊等，雖然規模不大，但已具備現代奧運的基本雛形。當時女性尚未被允許參賽，反映出當時社會的限制與觀念。
1896年奧運的成功舉辦，不僅讓奧林匹克精神重新回到世界舞台，也奠定了日後四年一度的國際體育盛會制度。時至今日，奧運會已成為全球最具影響力的體育賽事之一。
English Version
April 6, 1896:
The first modern Olympic Games officially opened in Athens, marking the revival of one of the world’s oldest sporting traditions.
The event was organized largely through the efforts of Pierre de Coubertin, a French educator who believed that international sports competitions could promote peace and understanding among nations. The Games were held at the historic Panathenaic Stadium and featured around 240 athletes from 14 countries.
Competitions included athletics, gymnastics, swimming, shooting, and more. Although relatively small in scale compared to modern standards, the structure of the event closely resembled that of today’s Olympic Games. Notably, women were not allowed to compete, reflecting the social norms of the time.
The success of the 1896 Games laid the foundation for the modern Olympic movement, establishing the tradition of holding the Games every four years. Over time, the Olympics have grown into one of the largest and most influential global sporting events.
Today, the Olympic Games symbolize unity, excellence, and international cooperation, continuing the vision that began in Athens over a century ago.
