The Games were held in honour of Zeus, king of the gods, and were staged every four years at Olympia, a valley near a city called Elis.People from all over the Greek world came to watch and take part. Events at the GamesAt the first one-day Olympic Games， the only event was a short sprint from one end of the stadium to the other.Gradually more events were added to make four days of competitions.They included wrestling, boxing, long jump, throwing the javelin and discus， and chariot racing.In the pentathlon, there were five events： running, wrestling, javelin, discus and long jump.One of the toughest events was the race for hoplites, men wearing armour and carrying shields.Winners were given a wreath of leaves, and a heros welcome back home.Winners might marry rich women, enjoy free meals, invitations to parties, and the best seats in the theatre. The running track was much wider than a modern one.Twenty people could run at once.Women at OlympiaOnly men, boys and unmarried girls were allowed to attend the Olympic Games.Married women were not allowed into the Olympic Games.Any women caught sneaking in were punished! Women could own horses in the chariot race though.Unmarried women had their own festival at Olympia every four years.This was the Heraia, held in honour of Hera, wife of Zeus.Women could compete in running races, though only unmarried girls took part.Winners were awarded crowns of sacred olive branches, the same as men.As a rule Greek women did not go in for sport, unless they were Spartans. 归纳拓展competition n.比赛；竞争competitive adj.有竞争力的competitor n.比赛者；对手；竞争者compete in参加 比赛compete against/with与 比赛/竞争compete for为争取/得到 而比赛【知识链接】pete vi.比赛；竞争 用适当的介词填空 No one can compete _ them on price.
