Subject: 🎉Paris 2024 Olympics Games: Here we go!✨

 
 

Helloooooo thereeee People!


The Paris 2024 Olympics Games have started! Did you get the chance to watch the Opening ceremony? It was spectacular and memorable! 🤩

 

How it all started? 

It all began in Greece, in the Peloponnese about 3,000 years ago. According to existing historic manuscripts, the first ancient Olympic Games 🏈were celebrated in 776 BC in Olympia. They were dedicated to the Greek god Zeus and took place in the same place every four years. This four-year period became known as an “Olympiad”. 🏅

In 1894, Pierre de Coubertin proposed reviving the Games, leading to the first modern Olympics in Athens in 1896. Pierre de Coubertin was a Frenchman who devoted his life to education, history and sociology. In 1894 he founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to help build a peaceful and better world by educating young people through sport. 🤾‍♂️

 

Let's show our support to the Mauritian athletes 🏐 (and your other favourite athletes also), as they strive to make our nation proud.

 

Did you know?

 The first ever (and only) Olympic medalist is Bruno Julie!

In August 2008, Bruno Julie made history 🥳 by winning a bronze medal, our nation’s very first Olympic medal! 🥇
