=Olympic Games- By: Morgan Pukula and Skyler Ketchum= =Some one says the games started when a cook named Koroibos from a city called Elswon the stadium race. Ancient Greeks loved sports and in some of the cities they had gym’s, where they could train and stay in shape for the Olympics. Men and boys would train for the Olympics by staying fit and sometimes going to the gym. Sports were a good way to stay in shape to be in the Olympics. The Greek armies had to stay fit for battles and for carrying heavy equipment. The Greeks were the home town of the Olympics.The first recorded Olympic game or event was in 776 B.C. The Greeks were also big fans of sports that is why they were in the Olympics. Any person or player was allowed to compete. They were allowed to compete and train once they were awarded to compete in the Olympics. =

===The Ancient Greeks held the Olympic games every four years. That is how much they are involved with the Olympics. Some one says the games started when a cook named Koroibos from some city called Elswon the stadium race. The games all started with a god named Zeus. If they were caught cheating they were never allowed to compete again. Cheating was considered disrespectful to the Gods. Others say the Olympic Games were first held by Zues, and that is why they like to compete in it because they think that they will be successful just like he was. In ruling and having power over people. Here are some games they played "Javelin, wrestling, weightlifting, swimming cycling, fencing" ===

The winners were awarded by a golden medal.
