The first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens(雅典) in 1896.There were nine sports:cycling,tennis,gymnastics,swimming,track and field,weightlifting,rowing,wrestling and shooting.Sailing was also to have taken place,but had to be cancelled(取消) because of bad weather at sea.
In the first Olympics there were no real team sports.Then,slowly,a few team sports joined the program.Football and hockey were the first team sports introduced into the Olympics in London in 1908.Then in 1936,at the Berlin Olympics,the Germans brought in handball and the Americans had basketball accepted as an Olympic sport.
It often happens that the country that introduces a new sport into the Olympics then goes on to win the gold medals.In 1904,at the Olympics in St.Louis,the Americans introduced boxing and won all seven events.Five horse riding events were introduced into the 1912 Stockholm(斯德哥尔摩) Olympics,and Swedish riders won four of them.And in 1964,at the Tokyo Olympics,two sports which are very popular in Japan were introduced:judo(柔道) and volleyball.The Japanese won all three gold medals in the judo,and also won the first women's volleyball competition.Some new sports have recently been added to the Olympics.In Los Angeles,in 1984,baseball was introduced and became an Olympic sport.In Seoul,Korea in 1988,table tennis was introduced for the first time,and tennis returned as an Olympic sport.Unlike tennis,some sports,such as golf and rugby(橄榄球),have been tried in the Olympics but have never returned.
