   about the ORIGIN of the Olympic Games , chronology, location

   and importance of this fantastic event that has survived all these

   years and continues to impress the people of our planet.

  "When a new Olympiad began in all the furthest corners of the

   planet, when the divine flame began its long trip from its cradle, 

   we Greeks felt proud for something of ours that became a 

   wordly  event. .....""
