The Olympic Games

Olympics 2004

In summer 2004, the XXVIII Summer Olympic Games took place in the birthplace of the event, Greece. This was only the second time Athens has hosted the Games since the inaugural modern Olympics in 1896.

A massive programme of building work was undertaken to accommodate the Games, which involved 10,500 athletes and 3,000 official teams from 199 countries. Afghanistan was able to compete again since it was banned for refusing to allow female athletes to compete in 1999.

The events were divided between 38 venues and represented 28 sports. The Games lasted 16 days and included 301 medal ceremonies.

The official mascots of the Athens games were Phevos and Athena, a brother and sister inspired by ancient Greek dolls. Their names come from two Olympian gods: Phevos (otherwise known as Apollo), the god of light and music; and Athena, goddess of wisdom and patron of the city of Athens.

George Michael was asked to compose the official theme song for the Games. Although he was born in London, he is of Greek descent: his real name is Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou.
