The statement that is TRUE about the first Olympics is:

It took place in Athens, Greece.

The first modern Olympics were held in Athens in 1896. The other statements are incorrect: the Olympics were not sponsored by the YMCA, they occurred before the Industrial Revolution (the ancient Olympics began in 776 BC), and the first modern Olympics had only men's events; women's events were introduced later.
