The modern Olympics, the Olympics that you see on TV and on the Internet, were created by French historian and teacher, Pierre de Coubertin in 1894. The first Olympic Games were in 1896. Pierre de Coubertin was the 2nd President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the organization that runs the Olympics. He also created the IOC.

The Olympics is watched worldwide because its a worldwide event. People from different countries/cultures from all around the world are participating. People watch their kids on TV. Some people don't even make it to the Olympics. It a major accomplishment to be in the Olympics.
