The History of the Most Elite of All International Sports: The Olympics
by Lyden
Although the Olympics are much anticipated by people around the world, it may come as a bit of surprise to learn that no one really knows where the idea for the Olympic events developed. While historians do know that the Olympic games were an important aspect of ancient Greek culture, they are not sure why they decided to create the Olympic games in the first place.
The Legend of the Origin of the Olympic Games
Although there are many legends regarding the origin of the Olympic games, the most popular is that Zeus created the games along with his son Heracles. The legend states that the father and son first held the event in order to pay honor to the defeat of Cronus and Zeus's subsequent reign over the heavens. Heracles is credited with having named the event the "Olympics" and for deciding to hold the event once every four years.
The Olympics in Ancient Greece
Regardless of where the Olympic games originated, the event was an important part of the ancient Greece culture. In fact, they were central to many religious celebrations and events. Ultimately, the Olympics were comprised of twenty different events that were completed over a period of several days. Those who won the events were admired greatly and were immortalized in many ways, including the creation of statues and poems in their honor.
As the Romans gained power, the Olympic games became of lesser importance. By AD 393, they were banned completely when Emperor Theodosius I named Christianity as the Empire's religion and deemed the Olympic Games to be a pagan festival.
The Resurgence of the Olympic Games
After being banned by Emperor Theodosius I, the Olympic Games as they are known today did not exist for 1500 years. Interest in reviving the event really didn't occur until a wealthy Greek philanthropist by the name of Evangelos Zappas decided to sponsor his version of the Olympic Games. In 1859, an international Olympic Games was successfully held in Athens. Zappas later paid to refurbish the ancient Panathenian Stadium and another event was held in 1870 and then again in 1875.
Although these first events only included athletes from Greece and the Ottoman Empire, the event slowly spread throughout the world and developed into the Olympic Games we know today - with more than 205 nations participating in this major international event.

London is top choice for top football
by Paul McIndoe
The English professional football season is in full flow between August and April and many visitors to London during that period take the opportunity to see one of the capital's top teams in action at some point during their stay.
London is particularly well represented in the Premier League, with a quarter of the division's 20 teams based in the capital. Arsenal and Tottenham, both based in the north of London have fans that contest a fierce local rivalry but a more friendly competition exists between Fulham and Chelsea; both based in trendy West London. West Ham are the east of London's sole contenders in the top flight and their big local rivals Millwall currently play in League One of the Football League.
On rare weekends during the season when there is no Premier League football played in the capital there is an alternative in The Football League Championship offers a choice of three teams. The next tier down in the football pyramid, The Championship boasts Charlton Athletic, Queens Park Rangers and Crystal Palace, all of whom are vying to win a place in the Premier League. So, with a total of eight teams from which to choose in the top two leagues it is very rare that there is not a top quality professional game being played in London on any given weekend during the football season.
The ease of buying a ticket to watch a particular game varies depending upon the teams and their opposition on the day. For example, getting a ticket to Chelsea versus Manchester United would be extremely difficult as they are both contenders for the League title. Whereas a ticket for the game between Chelsea and Hull City would be much easier to obtain from the box office as the latter are newly promoted and not yet considered a big draw. Hotels in London are often host to football fans on any given match day so getting a room close to the ground should not be a problem and will allow you to build your own capital football break.
However, one thing to bear in mind before you book any accommodation is that most top teams operate ticket membership schemes that any potential purchaser is required to join before being allowed to buy tickets. Although rare, there is sometimes also a qualifying period before you can purchase tickets so if you intend on taking in a game on a visit to the capital make sure you plan well in advance. As football in the UK is extremely partisan tickets in the away sections of the crowd are only available from the box office of the visiting team.
If you intend on lending your support to the away team at a particular game you would be well advised to not buy a ticket from the home team. Such supporters finding themselves in the heart of opposing fans may well be ejected from the ground without refund in the interests of their own safety. However, there is rarely trouble at football games in England as fan safety is a primary consideration, so precautions such as separating opposing fans ensures that it stays trouble free.
