The Summer and Winter Olympic Games are events in which the world’s best athletes compete with one another. The Summer Olympics are the biggest and are held every four years. At the Summer Olympics, there are competitions in more than twenty different sports.
Today’s Olympic Games are based on a competition that was invented in Ancient Greece 2,500 years ago. These games were first held at Olympia in Greece. They lasted five days and were only attended by men. They included sports such as wrestling and chariotracing.
Jordan’s appearance in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games was its ninth Olympic participation, with its first appearance in 1980 CE. Since then, a growing number of talented Jordanian athletes have been encouraged to aim for international success. Dana Haidar is one of Jordan’s top-performing tae-kwondo athletes. Using her high profile, she has launched a campaign for children’s sport in schools. It encourages girls to take up sports and increase awareness of the importance of being healthy.
Jordan is proud of its athletes and its growing athletic tradition. Today, more resources are devoted to increasing the size of the team, and Jordan’s athletes are inspired by the prospect of winning an Olympic medal to continue doing their best.
