The original Olympic Games were first
recorded in 776 BC in Olympia, Greece,
and were celebrated until AD 393.
Interest in reviving the Olympic Games
proper was first shown by the Greek poet
and newspaper editor Panagiotis Soutsos
in his poem "Dialogue of the Dead" in
1833. Evangelos Zappas sponsored the
first modern international Olympic Games
in 1859. He paid for the refurbishment
of the Panathinaiko Stadium for Games
held there in 1870 and 1875. This was
noted in newspapers and publications
around the world including the London
Review, which stated that "the Olympian
Games, discontinued for centuries, have
recently been revived! Here is strange
news indeed ... the classical games of
antiquity were revived near Athens".

Due to our downtrodden economy and
challenges in gasoline prices as well as long hours
