IOC voted to reinstate both golf and rugby
to the Olympic program, meaning that the

AUGUST 2021 ANCIENT OLYMPIC

ANCIENT OLYMPIC

The Ancient Olympic Games were religious and athletic festivals held every
FOUR years at the sanctuary of Zeus in Olympia, Greece.

Competition was among representatives of several city-states and kingdoms of
Ancient Greece. These Games featured mainly athletic but also combat sports
such as wrestling and the pankration, horse and chariot racing events.

One of the most popular myths identifies Heracles and his father Zeus as the
progenitors of the Games. According to legend, it was Heracles who first called
the Games "Olympic" and established the custom of holding them every four
years.

The Ancient Games featured running events, a pentathlon (consisting of a
jumping event, discus and javelin throws, a foot race, and wrestling), boxing,
wrestling, pankration, and equestrian events.

Tradition has it that Coroebus, a cook from the city of Elis, was the first

Olympic champion. 12

Appreciation Note

It feels good to operate with a team
that is so self-reliant and motivated.
Without the support that you all have
provided, the organization might not
have achieved the milestones. Despite
having a busy schedule, every one of
you just made the project look easy.

Thank you all for the amazing
dedication and effort!
