The first modern Olympics were held in Athens, Greece, with over two hundred athletes from fourteen countries.Today, nearly three thousand years after the first Games, the Summer Olympics attract one hundred thousand top athletes from over two hundred countries. Billions of fans around the world cheer on their national teams to bring back the gold.
