According to Greek legend, the Olympic Games were started by Hercules, son of Zeus, in honour of his father. The first Olympic Games about which we have information were held in 776 BC on the plain of Olympia. Games had taken place before this date but had consisted mainly of chariot races. The ancient Greeks thought the Games were so important that they measured time by the interval between them. A period of four years was referred to as an Olympiad. The Games also represented the Greek ideal of physical fitness and beauty, which they considered as important as the development of the mind. Nothing, not even war, was allowed to interfere with the Games. They were held continuously every four years for more than 1000 years until the Romans brought them to an end in AD 394.

Running is excellent exercise. Before you start running, you should warm up first, using slow movement that makes all your muscles work. But be careful! If you stretch when your muscles are cold, you might do yourself an injury. Always wear comfortable clothing and make sure your trainers are in good shape. If you wear shoes that give good support to your whole foot, you will put less pressure on your knees. You should start exercising slowly, at a pace you can keep up for about 15-20 minutes. Try to exercise on soft ground as this will protect your knees and hips from too much stress.

Association football or soccer, remains one of the most popular games played in the British Isles. Every Saturday from late August until the beginning of May, large crowds of people support their sides in football grounds up and down the country, while an almost equally large number of people play the game in club teams of every imaginable variety and level of skill. Over the last twenty years, though, the attendance at football matches has fallen away sharply. This is because of changing lifestyles and football hooligans. As violence at and near the football grounds increased, there was an ever-increasing tendency for people to stay away, leaving the grounds to football fans.

People all over the world know Wimbledon as the center of lawn tennis. But most people do not know that it was famous for another game before tennis was invented. Wimbledon is now a part of Greater London. In 1874 it was the home of the All-England Croquet Club. The Club had been there since 1864. A lot of people played croquet in England at that time and enjoyed it, but the national championship did not attract many spectators. So the Club had very little money, and the members were looking for a way of getting some. “This new game of lawn tennis seems to have plenty of action, and people like watching it”, they thought. “Shall we allow people to play lawn tennis on some of our beautiful croquet lawns?”
In 1875 they changed the name of the club to the “All-England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club”, and that is the name that you will still find in the telephone book. Two years later, in 1877, Wimbledon held the first world lawn tennis championship. There were 22 players and 200 spectators, each paid one shilling. The Club was saved.
