Best Answer

The first Olympics were in Europe. The events started in 8th century BCE, Olympia, Greece and last up until the 4th century CE. The modern Olympics were created in 1896, in which the first games were held in Athens, Greece. So the first ancient Olympic games as well as the first modern Olympic games were both held in Europe.
