The Ancient Olympic Games were a revered sporting event in ancient Greece, held in Olympia every four years from 776 BC to 393 AD. This sacred festival was dedicated to Zeus, attracting athletes from various city-states who competed in sports like running, wrestling, boxing, chariot racing, and pentathlon.
It was more than just a sporting event; it had religious, cultural, and political significance. The games fostered camaraderie and peace among the Greek city-states during the truce called "Ekecheiria." Athletes, all men and Greek citizens, trained rigorously for years, striving for glory and honor. Victors were celebrated as heroes, receiving olive wreaths and eternal fame.
The Olympics also saw a cessation of conflicts, allowing safe travel for participants and spectators. The site featured impressive structures like the Temple of Zeus and the Statue of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Women were not allowed to compete and were barred from watching the games, with severe penalties for violators.
The Ancient Olympics symbolized Greek unity and athletic excellence, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to inspire modern Olympic ideals of fair competition, sportsmanship, and global unity.

world sport and landmark for postery games.

• Prior to the Olympic Games, as in ancient times a sacred torch was
lit to symbolize purity, justice and peace between nations.
It is a symbol of the Olympic Games, and evokes the legend of
Prometheus, who had stolen fire from Zeus to give it to mortals.
During the celebration of the ancient Olympics in Olympia, the
flame was maintained while the competitions, this tradition being
reintroduced in the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics. During the 1936
Berlin Olympics, was first conducted a march athletes to carry a
torch with the flame from the ruins of the Temple of Hera in
Olympia, to the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.
• As is known, the tradition of keeping a fire during the Olympics
cames from ancient times, when sacrifices were made to Zeus. In
these ceremonies, the priests lit a torch and the athlete who win a
race, have the privilege of carrying the torch to light the sacrificial
altar. The fire was then kept during the Games in honor of Zeus.
6. THE PUNTUATION
• The Olympic GAMES are a competition of individual
athletes, not countries, and the ANOC (Association of
National Olympic Committees) doesn´t give the results
by nation.
• The media of all nations report the results obtained by
their representatives by one or two scoring systems. In
the system of points, ten points are awarded for every
gold medal, five for silver medal, four for bronze
medal, three points for fourth position, two for fifth
and one for sixth. The other scoring system produces a
list (medal table) with the number of medals won by
each nation.
