Among the biggest sports events in the world are the Olympic Games. They began in Greece long ago. The Olympic Games were held once every four years at Olympia. Olympic athletes had to be male, of Greek nationality, and not slaves. Women were prohibited from watching the Games in the stadium. 1)....... the Olympic Games included only one event, a running race. 2).......the Games had more events: long jumps, javelin, boxing, chariot racing, and horse riding in the hippodrome. The only prize the winner received was a crown of olive leaves. However, it was a great honor to win. 3).........the Romans subjugated Greece, the Olympic Games became a major sports event, and the winner got bigger prizes. 4)...........people began to cheat, so the Roman Emperor Theodosius banned the games. In 1896 a Frenchman, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, revived the Olympic Games. The games were held in Greece. 5).........the first modern Olympic Games began. 6).........the Games were held in different countries.
