The first ancient Olympic Games can be traced back to 776 BC. They were dedicated to the Olympian gods and were staged on the ancient plains of Olympia.

Through the 12 centuries of the Olympic Games, many wonderful athletes competed in the stadium and the hippodrome of ancient Olympia's sacred area, moving the crowds with their great achievements.

The ancient Olympic Games were initially a one-day event until 684 BC, when they were extended to three days. In the 5th century B.C., the Games were extended again to cover five days.

The famous marathon race did not exist in the ancient Games. The starting pistol of the first Olympic marathon was fired on 14 April 1896 at 2 p.m.

Although the ancient Games were staged in Olympia, Greece, from 776 BC through 393 AD, it took 1503 years for the Olympics to return. The first modern Olympics were held in Athens, Greece, in 1896.

The idea of the Olympic torch or Olympic Flame was first inaugurated in the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam. There was no torch relay in the ancient Olympic Games. There were known, however, torch relays in other ancient Greek athletic festivals including those held at Athens. The modern Olympic torch relay was first instituted at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin.

The ancient olympics had a rich variety of games (or contests, as they were called by the Ancient Greeks). Many of these games are the ancestors of our modern olympic games and had rules and playing conditions modern athletes would not be unfamiliar with.

TOROC comes to the Big Apple

The Organizing Committee for the XX Olympic Winter Games (TOROC) and the Piedmont Regional Council were in New York City this week promoting the forthcoming Olympic Winter Games. The Opening Ceremony of the Games is scheduled to be held on 10 February 2006 in Turin.

The Italian delegation was in New York to participate in the annual Columbus Day Parade and to promote Turin 2006 more generally in the United States. In a joint venture with the Piedmont Region, TOROC brought a taste of the Turin Games to the parade with a float featuring a bobsleigh, the Italian Alps and the logo of Turin 2006.

The TOROC President, Valentino Castellani, was also present in New York and he had the opportunity to present Turin 2006 to the local and international media and to some important political personalities, notably New York’s Mayor, Michael Bloomberg.
