　　The Olympic Games

　　Good afternoon, students and teachers. As a member of the International Olympic Committee(委员会), I am delighted to have been invited to your school to talk to you about the history and significance of the Olympic Games. I'll share some interesting facts and stories with you，and then we'll have time for questions.

　　Do you know when the ancient Olympic Games began? It was in the year 776 BC. They were held at Olympia in Greece every four years, for almost 12 centuries，until AD 394.

At the ancient Olympics, by tradition the athletes were all men and they had to compete wearing no clothes① . Single women were allowed to take part in their own competition, at a separate festival in honour of Hera，the wife of the Greek god Zeus. Today，both male(男性) and female athletes from around the world can take part，no matter what nation they come from②.
