Description: Olympic Games, Los Angeles, 1984 State Medal The Olympic Games were first held in 776 B.C.E. in ancient Greece. The victor of the contests received an olive branch as a trophy for their success. The Olympic Games in ancient Greece were held 293 times and ended in 293 C.E. The idea of the modern Olympic Games was conceived by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, himself a sportsman. In 1896, the games reopened in Athens. The slogan chosen for the Olympics was "faster, higher, stronger". At the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984, 10,000 athletes from 160 countries competed in 24different branches of sport. Israel has until now participated in nine Olympic Games. The Olympic scene etched in every Israeli heart is that of Munich in 1972, when 11 athletes and trainers were killed by PLO assassins who, in the middle of the night, penetrated the Olympic village and seized control of the Israeli team.
