As you would have worked out from my last post the Ancient Olympic Games continued for nearly 1200 years. In 393ad, the Roman Emperor Theodosius I, a Christian abolished the games because of their pagan influences.
Around 1500 years later a young Frenchman named Barron Pierre De Coubertin had tried to restart the Olympic Games. When Pierre, attempted to get France interested in competitive sporting events, unfortunately the result was disappointing for Pierre.

In 1890, Baron Pierre De Coubertin organised and founded a sporting organisation. Two years into the organisation, Coubertin insisted to restart the Olympic Games.
Baron Pierre De Coubertin had also decided to renew the Olympic Games by making the Games International.
Although the first Modern Olympics did not begin until 1896, because the Greek Government was unable to fund construction of a stadium. Ever since a wealthy Greek architect, Georgis Averoff, donated over $100, 000 to restore the Panathenaic stadium, the Olympic Games have continued.
