asiant Olympic games and modern Olympics games in physical education
Dear student
The ancient olympic games, as the name suggests started in Olympia, Greece. It was first played in 776 BC, but were usually conducted as festivals, celebrations etc., Some of the games which were played then, were races, discus throw, jumping events, wrestling, boxing etc., Modern Olympic started in 1896 in Greece only but in Athens. The games played for the first time were jumping events such as triple jump, long jump. Marathons were also held. Women were not allowed to participate earlier, but today, as we know there have been so many changes in the rules. Women have made their own mark through their achievements in Olympics and a vast variety of games have been included, which will continue happening in times to come. Hope that helps.
All the best.
