About the brand ❤️
The Olympic Games, commonly referred to simply as the Olympics, are the world’s preeminent international multi-sport competition, bringing together thousands of athletes from over 200 nations to compete in Summer and Winter sports. The modern Olympic Movement was founded by Pierre de Coubertin with the establishment of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on 23 June 1894, and the first modern Summer Olympics took place in 1896 in Athens, Greece. Today the Olympics are governed and organized by the IOC, headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, and are held every four years — alternating between Summer and Winter editions. The Games celebrate excellence, friendship and respect, and aim to promote peace and unity through sport. They feature a vast range of disciplines from athletics and swimming to skiing and ice hockey, with athletes competing not only for medals but also for national pride. Over time, the Olympic Games have grown into a major global cultural event with widespread media coverage, corporate sponsorship and economic impact on host cities. The Olympic symbol of five interlocking rings represents the unity of the five continents and the global nature of the competition.
