Among the biggest sport events in the world are the Olympic Games. They began in Greece long ago. The Olympic Games was held once every four years at Olympia. Olympic athletes had to be male, of Greek nationality, and not slaves. Women were prohibited from watching the Games in the stadium. At first, the Olympic Games included only one event, a running race. Later the Games had more events; long jumps, javelin, boxing, chariot racing, and horse riding in the hippodrome. The only prize the winner received was a crown of olive leaves. However, it was great honor to win. When the Romans subjugated Greece, the Olympic Games became major sport events, and the winner got bigger prizes. Then people began to cheat, so the Roman Emperor Theodosius banned the games. In 1896 a Frenchman, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, revived the Olympic Games. The games were held in Greece. At this point the first modern Olympic Games began. Now the Games were held in different countries. The games are officially opened by lighting of the Olympic torch. Runners carry the Olympic Flame from Greece all the way to the host country. Now, the modern Olympic Games have nearly 400 events, many of which are team sport. What was the prize for the champion at first time? a. The gold from the emperor b. A number of money c. The olive leaves crown d. The olive leaves medal e. The position in kingdom
