We don't know, because nobody kept count. But compared to today's Olympics, the number must have been very modest, probably a few thousand at best. There was no television, women were barred from watching the games (athletes performed naked), the games lasted only a few days and the trip to Olympia was long and difficult for most people. The cities that sent athletes to the Games were always very interested in the outcome but its citizens would mostly wait for the results of their local heroes at home.
