2016 is the year of the Olympics! After the excitement for the Olympic Games of last August we just ended to feel great emotions looking at the Paralympic Games, which was attended by over 4,300 athletes, in their own unique and (without doubt) exceptional way.
From the first edition of the modern era, in Athens in 1896, it has been 120 years, but the Olympic Games still continue to fascinate young and old people.
The question is how many people know the history and the importance of the Ancient Olympics, born in ancient Greece where they had sacred significance and the strength to interrupt the wars to let the sport win? The ancient Olympic Games were staged for almost a thousand years before falling into oblivion for a long time.
We like to greet the closing of the 31 ° th modern Olympics with a funny story entitled “Tim Learns About the Olympics” proposed by Storynory, a new Ocarina’s partner that collects more than 100 audio stories for children to download online for free.
Together with the young Tim you can learn of the history of the Olympic games in a curious and funny way.
