От Олимпии до Москвы

Olympic Games... These two words are now known in all corners of our vast land. The history of the Olympic Games is one of the most amazing stories that have attracted the attention of poets, writers and scientists for centuries. This interest is easy to explain. The Olympic Games are a worldwide celebration of youth, beauty, and physical perfection. The Olympic Games are precisely the arena in which a person irrefutably proves the inexhaustibility of his strength, confirms again and again that there is no limit to human capabilities. It is no coincidence that the Olympic motto is “Faster, higher, stronger!”. The emblem of the Olympic Games - five intertwined rings - symbolizes friendship, brotherhood, the inseparable connection of the five continents. Those who gather under the Olympic banner not only fight for sports records - they demonstrate the friendship of peoples, which should be inseparable, like a chain of these five bright rings.
