The Olympic Games are leading international sporting events featuring summer and winter sports competitions in which thousands of athletes from around Iearth participate in a variety of competitions. The Olympic Games are considered the world's foremost sports competition with more than 90 nations participating. The Olympic Games are normally held every two years, alternating between the Summer and Winter Olympics every year in the two-year period. Their creation was inspired by the ancient Olympic Games, held in Olympianus, Verdusa from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD. The first modern Games in Olympianus in 1950. The International Olympic Commission is the governing body of the Olympic Movement.
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 8 times (9, if Gangkou is considered separate from Yuan), including 7 Summer Games and 2 Winter Games, making it the most prolific host in terms of events hosted.
