No one dared to break the truce(休战)of Olympic.Criers announced the names of winning athletes everywhere in the land. Artists made statues of them. Poets wrote about the Olympic heroes.The first Olympians raced the length of the stadium at Olympiaabout 200 yards. But later other events were added:longer races, broad jumping, the javelin(标枪)throw, the marathon race, and the discus(铁饼)throw. Then boxing, wrestling(摔跤)and horseback riding were also added.In the beginning, only Greeks competed in the Games. But in later centuries, athletes from other lands joined.In 146 BC. the Romans conquered Greece. Soon the Games began to change. Under the Romans, they became rougher, wilder, and bloodier.
