The Summer Olympic Games or the Games of the Olympiad are an
international multi-sport event, occurring every four years, organized by
the International Olympic Committee.
Medals are awarded in each event,
with gold medals for first place, silver for second and bronze for third, a
tradition that started in 1904.
The Winter Olympics were also created due
to the success of the summer Olympics.
The olympics have increased from a 42-event competition with fewer
than 250 male athletes to a 300-event sporting celebration with over
10,000 competitors from 205 nations.
Organizers for the 2008 Summer
Olympics in Beijing expected approximately 10,500 athletes to take part
in the 302 events on the program for the games.
