Question

How are modern Olympic Games from the ancient Games?

Answer 1

The modern Olympic Games are different in many respects from the Olympic Games organised in ancient Greece centuries ago. However, the values, ideals and philosophy behind both remain almost similar. Modern Olympic ceremonies such as the oath of fair play and lighting of the Olympic Flame are inspired by ancient Greek traditions. The ancient Games mainly served as a medium of education, health, fitness, enjoyment and social bonding. The modern Games continue these values while promoting individual excellence, character development, cultural uplift and universal brotherhood.
