The ancient Olympics were very different from today's games. There were fewer events, and those which were contested were very different from the events held today.

Only free men who spoke Greek were allowed to compete and the games were always held in the Greek city of Olympia. Today, athletes from any country compete in the games and they are held at different sites around the world.
