The Ancient Greek Olympics were held in Olympia and only men were allowed to compete. The first Olympic event was held in 776 B.C and only had sprints. Until later. The prizes were odd like a 'salary crown'. Since the Greeks there were no Olympics until 1894. The most recent Olympic was Rio 2016. Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps are record holders and athletes like Tyson Gay are still great. The Greeks invented most sports we still love today such as wrestling and Running.
