Today we learned about the first Olympics.
The Olympics started 776 BC.
What? Seriously? I couldn't believe that when I read it...776 BC!
And they have been happening every 4 years since.
At first, the athletes just ran races, but pretty soon they added...
...javelin, long jump, wrestling, discus, and boxing.
Today we competed in all those events...
...except for the boxing.
That doesn't have to be an organized sport in our house.
The athletes were crowned with olive tree leaf wreaths.
They even learned to write their names using the Greek alphabet.
And then they celebrated by eating Ekmek.
