ANCIENT GREECE OLYMPICS

Men ran the races without clothes on. Gradually, other events were added but there were no team sports like in the modern Olympics. Also, there were no

medals like the gold, silver and bronze medals

we have today. There was only one winner these olive leaves were taken from a sacred tree that was located at Olympia behind the temple dedicated to Zeus. To reward his mastery of the events, a statue was built in the winners honour.
