From 776 BC to 728 BC, the 180 meters, also known as the stadion, was the only running event. Eventually, other running events were added, such as, diaulos, and the dolichos. One rule was that the runners had to be naked, another was they had to be barefoot when running. Running is still in the olympics, however there are many more events and the runners now wear clothes and have shoes, so they have the proper equipment. ]]> 2020-01-21 15:09:58 UTC https://padlet.com/eder_villegas/jwg9cwmtmtk/wish/434030237 Ashlyn Thornton https://padlet.com/eder_villegas/jwg9cwmtmtk/wish/434030366 Pankration: introduced to Greek Olympics in 648 B.C.

The olympic sport of boxing in ancient greece Began around the eighth century b.c some say  that the heroic ruler Theseus invented a type of boxing in which two men sat face to face and beat each other up until one of them was killed.

The ancient wrestlers in the Olympics would lift live bulls and tear trees apart with their own hands. They became wildly famous and were known as heroes. The sport was equivalent to modern day American football. To show off their strengths they would carry live bulls over their shoulders into the stadiums and ties strings around their heads and break them by pooping their veins.  They would wrestle naked and covered in oil. Their were two kinds of wrestling, standing which you had to thrown down the opponent 3 times while ground wrestling was wrestling till one opponent could not wrestle anymore which often resulted in death. Wrestling is still a well known sport today and is played in the olympics today. ]]> 2020-01-21 15:12:34 UTC https://padlet.com/eder_villegas/jwg9cwmtmtk/wish/434032129 Mirabell R mrussu381 https://padlet.com/eder_villegas/jwg9cwmtmtk/wish/434032398 Running:Ancient Olympics.
