The Olympic Games is the biggest sporting event on earth. It's had moments of glory and human triumph, but also tragedy, controversy, and cheating. We chart the full history from the ancient games in Greece to the modern Olympics that started in 1896 right through to today.
We look at everything that makes the Olympics what it is - the traditions and ceremonies that have lasted decades, the politics and protests, the doping scandals, and yes, even the tragic moments like the 1972 Munich attack. We celebrate the greatest British Olympians like Seb Coe and Steve Redgrave, and the world's finest athletes.
We also explain the different sports, how they're competed, and cover the Paralympic Games, which have grown remarkably in recent years. It's all here.
