第一屆奧運(yùn)會克服重重困難，終于在1896年4月6日開幕了。這是歷屆奧運(yùn)會舉行月份最早的一次。東道主雅典之所以將開幕式選在這一天，是為了紀(jì)念希臘反抗土耳其統(tǒng)治起義75周年。

ATHENS  1896 Games of the I Olympiad

　　The revival of the ancient Olympics attracted athletes from 14 nations, with the largest delegations coming from Greece, Germany, France and Great Britain. On 6 April 1896, the American James Connolly won the triple jump to become the first Olympic champion in more than 1,500 years.

　　Winners were awarded a silver medal and an olive branch. The German athlete Carl Schumann finished in the top five events of three different sports. The people of Athens greeted the Games with great enthusiasm. Their support was rewarded when a Greek shepherd, Spyridon Louis, won the most popular event, the marathon.
