The modern Olympic Games were started in 1894 when Pierre Fredi, Baron de Coubertin wanted to have an international understanding through sporting competition. I think the olympic games are cool to watch. I am a differrent person then the ones who mad and edited it. The Olympics are dangerous, someone died in training. And training is usually so much work.
