Fill in the chart with information about the modern olympic games from the text.
Beginning in 776 BC, the Olympic Games were held in the Valley of Olympia in Greece. They were dedicated to the Olympian Gods and took place every four years. By about 650 BC the Games were held over five days. Sportsmen came to the Valley of Olympia from every corner of the Greek world. Sportsmen competed in running, wrestling and the pentathlon. This pentathlon, a five-event match consisted of running, wrestling, jumping, throwing the discus and throwing the javelin. In time boxing, a chariot race and other events were included. Women were not allowed to attend the Games, The victors of these early Games were awarded with wreaths from an olive tree that was planted by Hercules* (Heracles), founder of the Games.Under Roman rule the Olympic Games continued to be held, but relations between the Romans and the Greeks became so bad that Emperor Theodosius abolished the Olympic Games in AD 394.Thanks to Baron Pierre de Coubertin the first Modern Olympic Games took place in Greece in 1896. Almost 300 athletes from 13 countries participated in 9 different sports. The largest delegation was from Greece. They won 10 gold medals and set Olympic records. At the Moscow 1980 Games more than 5000 athletes from 80 countries competed in 21 different sports. The latest XXVII Olympic Games also took place in Greece in 2004. Athletes from 202 countries competed in 28 different sports some of which, for example, the track events in athletics are very old, while others have been added to the programme of the Games recently. For instance, taekwondo and triathlon were included into the programme of the Olympic Games in 2000 in Sydney.
