The Greek Olympics, thought to have begun in 776 BC, inspired the modern Olympic Games (begun in 1896) The Games were held in honour of Zeus, king of the gods, and were staged every four years at Olympia, a valley near a city called Elis. People from all over the Greek world came to watch and take part.
Sailing became an official sport at the Olympics in the 1900 summer Olympics in Paris, France. It was going to be introduced in 1896, but the wind was not strong enough. It waâ¦s not an event in 1904, but every Olympics since then sailing has been included.
