SPORTING EVENT / The Olympic Games have been created, as their name implies, in Olympia, Greece, in the 8th century BC. They were celebrated in honor of the Greek gods, such as Zeus - the biggest god in Ancient Greece.
However in the 4th century AD, they were abolished by the Roman emperor Theodosius I who put an end to a series of pagan practices.

In 1896, Pierre de Coubertin, French educationalist and historian, took the initiative to revive the Games. They took place, symbolically, in Athens and since then are celebrated every 4 years.

This year will be organized the Summer Olympic Games in London from 27th July until 12th August. It is in the heart of the British capital that 26 olympic sports will be represented among which: athletics, badminton, cycling, tennis, ...

It is thus the opportunity to discover or rediscover our categories dedicated to the Olympic Games !


DID YOU KNOW IT ? ... Modify my bid !
Another bidder seems to be as interested as you in buying an item and you want to increase your bid?  You made a mistake when typing your bid and you don't know how to correct it? You want to cancel an automatic bid (with maximum bid) ?

Here's what you should do!

To increase your maximum bid, you just need to make another bid higher to the current price but which is different to your previous bid.  Your maximum bid will automatically be modified.

In case there's a typing error in your bid (the bid is too high), you just need to make another bid which should be higher to the current sale price increased by the increment. This new offer will replace the previous one.

To cancel an automatic bid,  just make a bid which is lower than the current price of the item.
