By Olympics I'm assuming you mean Olympics. If you are then your awnser is that scientific evidence suggests that the Olympics started in ancient Greece as a tribute to their gods. It had most of the events we have now in the Olympics but some of the original events were removed and some new events were added. This is why when the Olympic torch makes it's way around the world it is always lit and starts it's journey in Greece. One of the events was the relay race which was run naked and the baton was on fire at one end. Women were also not allowed to compete in the Olympics because gender equality was not social protocol in those days. There were states or territories in Greece different to the current ones and anyone from outside of the states was also excluded from competing.
