Conceived by the French academic and sports enthusiast Pierre de Fredi, Baron de Coubertin (1863­-1937), the modern Olympic Games were inaugurated in Athens, Greece, the birthplace of Olympic sport, on 6 April 1896. The first-ever modern Games were a modest affair by today's standards, with just 241 participants representing 14 different countries and competing in 43 events.
