In ancient Greece the most famous festival for athletes was the Olympic Games. These games took their name from the religious (宗教信仰) centre of Olympus, in southern Greece. The Games were held every four years at the end of June. Athletes, judges and spectators came from all over the known world to watch and compete.

After a solemn (神圣的) opening ceremony, the first event was the four-horse chariot (战车) race. As many as forty chariots thundered round and round the stadium. Because of collisions (碰撞.) , and the strain of covering the nine-mile race, very few chariots ever finished the race. Winning it was a great honor. At the Olympic Games there were also races on foot, horse races, wrestling, boxing matches and the pentathlon.

"Pente" is Greek for five and "athlon" Greek for contest, the pentathlon was five different
events combined. Competitors had to run, contest the long jump, throw the discus(铁饼)and the
javelin 标枪) and wrestle (摔跤). The athlete who won three of the five events was the winner.
The winners each received a crown (头冠) of olive (橄榄) leaves as their prize. They went back
to their cities wearing the crown. When they arrived home they were welcomed as heroes and
given special honors.
