Pierre de Coubertin was a French nobleman who revived the modern Olympic Games. He founded the International Olympic Committee in 1894 and served as its president for over 20 years. Some of Coubertin's key accomplishments included establishing the Olympic flag, motto of "Citius, Altius, Fortius" meaning "Faster, Higher, Stronger", and lighting of the Olympic flame. The modern Olympic traditions and ceremonies trace their roots back to rituals from the ancient Greek Olympics.
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.

"Of course, you prefer to take players who are fully fit, but that's okay. We want to wait and be patient for some players even if they cannot play in those first matches," he told a press conference. The 37-year-old Vertonghen, Belgium’s Euro Cup 2024 most-capped international with 154 appearances, is struggling to shake off a groin injury.
"He will be there normally. This also applies to Youri Tielemans and Arthur Theate. The latter's position is very sensitive. We don't have many choices at left back. "It will only change if it turns out that they will only be available when, say, the final of the Euro 2024 Championship comes around. That's too long to wait. "However, I am confident that the injured boys are on track for the Euros.
Belgium vs Romania: Radu Dragusin Prepares for Crucial Role in Euro Cup Germany
Some of them have taken not one but two steps forward in their rehabilitation," he said. None of the injured players will feature in this week’s warm-up friendlies against Montenegro and Luxembourg. Romania centre-back Radu Dragusin found chances limited at Tottenham Hotspur in the second half of the 2023-24 season.
But is crucial to his country's cause at UEFA Euro 2024 where his aerial ability, physicality and hard graft make him a standout player. The 22-year-old moved to North London from Italian side Genoa in January but was kept on the sidelines by the form of another new arrival for the season, Mickey van de Ven, something Romania coach Edward Iordanescu admitted was a concern.
It will mean limited game-time going into the finals, but Dragusin, who cites Netherlands defender Virgil van Dijk as a role model, started every Euro Cup Germany qualifier as Romania went through the campaign unbeaten in their 10 games. He will be among their most important players in their first game in Germany against Ukraine in Munich on June 17, taking the right centre-back role in what is likely to be a back four.

6. Torch Relay & Flame
The Olympic Flag is a symbol of the Olympic
Games.Commemorating the theft of fire from the Greek god Zeus by
Prometheus, its origins lie in ancient Greece, where a fire was kept
burning throughout the celebration of the ancient Olympics.The fire was
reintroduced at the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam, and it has
been part of the modern Olympic Games ever since. In contrast to the
Olympic flame proper, the torch relay of modern times which transports
the flame from Greece to the various designated sites of the games had no
ancient precedent and was introduced by Carl Diem at the controversial
1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin.
Fun Facts;
The Olympic Flame, Torch and Relay draw on a history going back to the ancient Olympic Games in Greece.
A very precise ritual for the lighting of the Flame is followed at every Games. It is lit from the sun's rays at the Temple of Hera in
Olympia, in a traditional ceremony among the ruins of the home of the ancient Games.
