Baron Pierre de Coubertin initiated the revival, convening international sports leaders at Sorbonne University in Paris on June 23, 1894. The first modern Olympics took place in Athens in 1896, with athletes from 13 countries competing for glory.
Looking ahead, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games are scheduled from July 26 to August 11, followed by the Paralympic Games from August 28 to September 8.
