Did argos have any advantages in the ancient olympic games in Greece?
argos did have some minor advantages in the ancient Olympic games. Their athletes had a ton of muscle, and were stronger than most athletes. Their athletes were trained in the arts and sciences.

Anyways, because their athletes were strong, they could easily crush their equals, the athletes from Corinth, a seaside city-state.
