Olympics in Greek times
The Olympic games in Ancient Greek began over 2,7000 years ago in Olympia Southwest of Greece, witch also took place every four years.They did it in Honor of Zeus.No women could participate,only national Greeks could. the games at Olympia were greatly expanded from a one day festival to, five days with many events.The order of the events aren't precisely known. They prayed before the Olympics. The games that they had there were running boxing,and horse racing.For boxing they would put metal on there fingers and wrap it around with leather.What i don't know is how many people volunteered for the Olympics?

Good post Linton! I think that it was unfair that women could not participate in the games. I also could not believe that the games began over 2,700 years ago! I didn't know they had horse racing back then as well! To answer your question, to be honest with you I don’t really know how many people volunteered to help out, maybe they got paid in some sort of way.
