The Mathematical Olympics had their origins, according to some historians, because they are related to the "disputes" played by mathematicians in Italy during the Renaissance. Later, in the late nineteenth century, these competitions had a similar structure to the present day. From 1894, Hungarian mathematicians organized mathematical competitions called “Eötvös”, and today known as “Olympics Mathematics ”. This paper aims to show the Mathematical Olympics as source of dissemination and stimulation for the teaching and learning of mathematics in Ceará. Where we will make a brief history of the Olympics in the world and in Brazil, emphasizing the OCM - Cearense Mathematical Olympiad. We will also introduce the Mathematics Column of Jornal O Povo and the Numeratizar project that played a key role in preparing and incentive of Cearenses for several national and international Olympics, besides the entrance exams, and its important contribution to the evolution of the level of mathematics in Ceará. We will also talk about women's participation in the Olympics and narrate the experiences of former Olympic students who are currently math teachers. Highlighting how the CMO has been, over the years, the gateway to a wide universe of competitions mathematics around the world, as well as a laboratory for opportunities, experiences and development of mathematics in the state of Ceará.
