100 Years of the Philippines competing in the OLYMPICS


Social media is filled with photos and videos about the 2024 Paris Olympics with images of athletes then and now.  #OlympicGames #Paris2024

The History of the Olympic Games started in 776 BC when the Greeks began measuring time in Olympiads, or the duration between each edition of the Olympic Games.  This makes the Olympic games as sort of milestones.  The Philippines first competed in the Olympic Games in 1924 in Paris, making the 2024 Paris Olympic Games a historic milestone - our centennial anniversary of competing in the Olympics.
