History

Olympic Games in ancient times

The first Olympic Games were held in 776 BC and the most recent in 393 AD. The participants became on a par with philosophers, scientists, politicians and poets in terms of popularity. They even began to deify them and believed that the statues of athletes can help in the healing of various ailments.

Wrestling, pentathlon and fist fighting have reached our days from ancient Greek sports. They, of course, have already somewhat modified. The Olympic Games were known to everyone and it is still possible to find information about the great winners of those games and the records set by athletes.
