The Olympic Games started in Olympia in 776 B.C. and for centuries Olympia athletic games were a cult for worshiping Zeus. Wrestling with no weight classifications, or scoring systems seemed to have been a brutal and barbaric affair but in reality, respect and fair play were present. Chariot racing is one of the most thrilling, and dangerous sports but Pankration which is a combination of boxing and wrestling with barely any restrictions was the wild center of the Ancient Olympic Games and seemed to be their preference. Boasting huge men of incredible strength, it became a fountain of wondrous stories and stirring myths. However Javelin and discus used to entertain  people who came from many cities to stand (not sit) and watch these athletes who originally played naked.
