Hey guys, I think that before I teach you about the way the Olympics have evolved, I should teach you about what the ancient Olympics were like. The ancient Olympics were held every four years. The Olympics were to honor the god Zeus. People from all around Greece came to compete or watch the Olympics. The first winner of the Olympics was, Koroibos of Elis and he won the Stadion Foot-Race. Before the games started all of the competitors had to swear to compete with honor and respect. No wars were allowed to be held during the Olympics, because it disrespected Zeus. Women weren't allowed to compete in the Olympics, and they couldn't even watch them. Athletes trained with personal trainers to build up certain muscles in their body. Most of the time the athletes competed naked so they had more freedom to move. See ya next time! Big Daddy Jacob signing off!
