Horse racing is one of the oldest sports on record and has been around for thousands of years. Not only has it survived the test of time but it has also been an organized sport throughout the world even dating back to the original Greek Olympics.

By the 1700's horse racing had really blossomed into an extremely popular sport. The quick and lithe Arab horses were bred with their sturdier European counterparts which resulted in fantastic race horses. As the sport became more organised racecourses opened all over the country and standardized rules and regulations were introduced.

When Charles II was King from 1660-1685 he held two horse races on private courses with the winner being awarded a prize. Newmarket in Britain was the very first venue for horse racing.

Between 1702-1714, when Queen Anne was on the throne, horse racing developed from two horses to several and spectators would place bets on the horse they thought would win.

The Jockey club was formed in 1750 at Newmarket where the elite of horse racing met. The club was formed to control English racing and a set of rules were made that are still in force today.

There were concerns regarding the breeding and registration of race horses and a gentleman called James Weatherby was given the job of tracing the history of all race horses. Steps were then taken to control and regulate the breeding. All foals born to a race horse now had to be recorded in the General Stud Book. This book was first published in 1793.

It was in the year 1866 that the National Hunt Committee was formed. In 1993 the British Horseracing Board became the governing authority for horse racing.

The Summer Olympic games are held every 4 years, in years evenly divisible by 4. The Winter Olympic Games are also held every 4 years, offset by 2 years from the Summer Games. So there is a two-year interval between any given Summer Olympics and the preceding or following Winter Games.

The change to the schedule of the modern Olympics was made in 1994, so there were Winter Olympics in both 1992 and 1994. Previously they were held the same year as the Summer Olympics, beginning in 1924.

The marathon is a long-distance running event with an official distance of 42.195 kilometers (26 miles 385 yards) that is usually run as a road race. The event is named after the fabled run of the Greek soldier Pheidippides, a messenger from the Battle of Marathon to Athens. It was one of the original Olympic events in 1896, though the distance did not become standardized until 1921.

The only countries that have been to all Summer Olympics are Australia, Great Britain, France, Switzerland and Greece. Since the first Winter Olympics in 1924 only Switzerland, France and Great Britain have take part in each Winter Games. So three nations have competed at all Summer and Winter Olympics - Switzerland, France and Great Britain.
