10 questions · Answer correctly to boost your score.
The Olympics started in ancient Greece as a religious festival held at Olympia, ran for about a thousand years, and then vanished for roughly fifteen centuries before being revived in 1896.
This quiz covers both eras — the ancient contests and the modern movement with its rings, torch, and medal tables.
The Modern Revival
Pierre de Coubertin led the effort to bring the Games back, and the first modern Olympics were held in Athens in 1896 with a few hundred athletes from around a dozen nations. Today the Summer Games draw more than 10,000 competitors.
Symbols Everyone Recognizes
The five interlocking rings represent the meeting of athletes from around the world. The torch relay, carrying a flame lit in Olympia, was actually introduced much later, in the 1930s.
Records and Milestones
The United States leads the all-time medal count by a wide margin, and swimmer Michael Phelps holds the record for most Olympic gold medals won by any athlete.
