Events at the Greek’s Olympics
included wrestling, boxing, long jump, javelin, discus and chariot racing. But
those taking part in the wrestling event had to be the toughest, as there were
hardly any rules and they had to be compete naked. Eek! Married women were
prohibited from watching the Games under penalty of death! Coming from diverse
backgrounds in Greece, all male athletes had one thing in common: they all
competed naked! There were no gold, silver, or bronze awards in the ancient
Olympics, just an olive wreath for the winner. I think it is not right that they
did not have meddles and only had an olive wreath for the winner. Who thinks
that is right?
