London Olympics 2012

The Olympic flag was created by a man named Pierre de Coubertin.

The Olympic motto is swifter,higher and stronger. 

The last Olympic gold medals that were made entirely out of gold were awarded in 1912. 


There was no marathon race in the ancient Olympic Games.

The Summer Olympics were cancelled due to wars in 1916, 1940 and 1944, and the same happened in ancient times too.
