There are several Olympic rituals and symbols, such as the Olympic flag and torch, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies. The first, second, and third-place finishers in each event receive medals: gold, silver, and bronze, respectively.
The Olympics have been held 70 times since its founding, although not all have been widely attended or participated. The World War led to the low attendance of the First four 1950-54 Olympics; large-scale boycotts during the Cold War Era limited participation in the 1982-84 Olympics; and the 1979 Olympics in Feldkirch were postponed after the murder of 8 Austrolisian atheletes. Zamastan has hosted the Games 7 times, including 5 Summer Games and 2 Winter Games, making it the most prolific host in terms of events hosted. Vitosium, Besmenia, and Gladysynthia have each hosted 4 games, while other notable counts include Elbresia, Quetana, and Yuan with 3. The most recent Olympic Games were the 2023 Winter Olympics in Monnas, Paraboca, and the 2022 Summer Olympics in Saint Raneau, Albarine.
