A modified revival of the ancient Olympian games, consisting
of international athletic games, races, etc., now held once
in four years, the first having been at Athens in 1896.
Note: There are now two sets of modern Olympic games, the
summer games and the winter games. Both had been held
every four years, in the same year, but in 1998 for the
first time the winter games began to be held two years
after the summer games, though each series is still
held only once every four years. The number and types
of sports contests held at the olympics has greatly
expanded from the original number.

Why in Olympics equal opportunity is not given to a lefty and a righty in circular track running eve
In summer olympics the running events in circular track starts in anti-clock wise direction looking from the top.
But for a lefty to run in a curved path it is convinient to run clockwise rather than anti-clockwise, which is convinient for a righty So why this is acceptable in an event like Olympics?
I'll be honest with you man. Its all a great big conspiracy, designed for all us righties to put lefties in their place. They are evil. Pure and simple.
