Greek’s Olympics

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?
