ANCIENT GREECE -OLYMPICS

This article is about how the ancient Greek people started the Olympics 2700 years ago and over 50000 people came over to see.In ancient Greece the only games they played was running, long jump, shot put, javelin, boxing, pankraion and equestrian events. Crazy enough, football and basketball was far from the most played sport. Did you that Wrestling is the oldest sport in the world? During the Peloponnesian war (in 424 BC), the Spartans were banned from competing or contending in the games.
