The Olympics are a major international multi-sport event held every four years starting from 1896 in Athens, Greece where the first ever Olympic games were held and the most recent Olympics being the 2020 games held in Tokyo, Japan.

The Olympics are very different from what it was back in 1896.

Many of the rewards were also different from how it is now. For example, the reward for achieving first place was also very different.
