The Olympic Games

1) Nobody knows exactly when the Olympic Games began, but historians think that the first games were in 776 BC. Athletes from all over Greece came to compete in a town called Olympia. There was only one event. It was a running race.

2) The games were very popular. Soon there were more events, for example, wrestling and horse racing. The games took place every four years, for a thousand years. In AD 394 the Roman Emperor Theodosius stopped them for religious reasons.

3) In 1887, the Frenchman Pierre de Coubertin decided he wanted to restart the Olympic Games. It took a long time but finally the first modem Olympic Games began in Athens in April 1896. Thirteen countries took part. There were nearly 300 competitors in nine different sports.

4) Pierre de Coubertin also designed the Olympic rings. Each ring represents one of the five continents and the Olympic flag contains at least one colour from every national flag.

5) Today the Olympic Games are the world's most famous sports competition. The modern Olympics take place every four years in a different city. In 2004 they were again in Athens. Over 11,000 athletes from 203 countries competed in 28 sports, 3 000 years after the first Olympic Games.

We run day trips to the coast for surfing throughout the year and usually a longer trip once a term, for example this year we have been to the Lake District for White Water.

2 Do you enjoy touring or prefer the more energetic racing side? This is the club to join. The weekly Sunday rides are very popular. They are taken across the Norfolk countryside. Members are also offered the free use of a well equipped workshop and can find friendly and expert advice on all the aspects of bike repairing.

3 We are a large and friendly Club which trains twice a week. We have 2 teams taking part in the UAU Championships, and during the Spring Term play matches against local teams. There is also a Challenge Tournament towards the end of the season and the chance to buy our exclusive club sweatshirts and T-shirts.

4 we have a 400 m grass track, field event equipment and one of the finest middle- distance coaches around. Also, an international standard synthetic track has been built next to the University recently. The Club competes all year round, taking part in cross-country, road running, track and field and some fell-running; we are one of the most successful University teams.
