DVD script:

The first Olympic Games took place in Greece nearly three thousand years ago. The Games happened every four years and during the games there were no wars. So athletes from different countries could travel to and from the Games. But the Games at that time had only one event – a short race across a stadium. Then some more events appeared: boxing, wrestling, jumping and others. At that time only men could participate in the games. Then the Olympic Games stopped for about 1000 years. Only in 1894 Pierre de Coubertin of France organized the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The first modern Olympic Games were in Greece where the first Olympic Games took place. But women started participating in Games in 1900. Now there are Winter Olympics, Summer Olympics and Paralympics for athletes with disabilities. Not so long ago Youth Games appeared for athletes between the ages of 14 and 18. The winners get medals. Third place wins a bronze, second place wins a silver and first place gets a gold medal.
