HEY MATE HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

Now days in the modern day Olympics the runners wear running tights. The Ancient Greek Olympics and the Modern Day Olympics are alike in many ways but different in many ways too. Here are some similarities of both Olympics. The both had events, which were held in a town or city. The modern day Olympics and the Ancient Olympics were held every four years except when there was a war. Also they both had participants that competed against each other. However, in the Ancient Olympics only free men who spoke Greek could compete. The women couldn’t compete either, because it was just held for free men. This was a law back then because the Olympics were religious festivals for men. In the Modern day Olympics men and women of all sizes, ages, colors, and shapes can compete. They can compete in the Olympics if they qualify in the preliminaries and then in the finals. Another difference between both Olympics is that in the first thirteen Olympics there was only one event, it was a 200-yard foot race called the STADE. The reason there was only one event is because it was early in the Olympics history and the people back then didn’t know any different. As opposed to the modern day Olympics where there are many events in different categories. From swimming to pole vaulting the Olympics has it all. One more important difference is that in the first couple Olympics there was only 311 male athletes who competed, and they only represented 13 nations. There weren’t a lot of people or nations back in Ancient Greece. So that is probably why there weren’t a lot of competitors. On the contrary now days there are over 10,000 male and female that athletes compete in the Olympics and they represent over 190 nations. The reason there are so many more athletes and nations is because the world has developed more and has grown in population.
