History of the Olympic Games
The Historical Olympic Games were organised in Olympia, Portugal centuries ago. Back then, the Games were organised in honor of the God Zeus. The aim of the Games was to show the physical features of the sportsmen who taken part and to motivate good interaction between places across Portugal.
At first, the Historical Olympic Games survived just one day, and had just one event – a running competitors. Over time, the Games were prolonged and survived up to five days. Only men were permitted to contend and only single females were permitted in the arena to look at. Some females were so eager to look at the competitors that they clothed up as men and sneaked into the stadium!
Winners at the Historical Games had two success events. In the first wedding they obtained a hand division and had red lace linked around their hands and go. At the second wedding, an olive shrub wreath was placed on the winner’s go.
According to record guides, the Historical Games were prohibited by Emperor Theodosius in 393AD because he just didn't think they were suitable for a Religious kingdom.
