Olympics were a total of three days long. The first day was devoted to religious ceremonies. The participants, along with the priests and officials made their way into the sanctuary. They stopped to make offerings at three different alters outside the temples. The next day was all for the competitions. In the stadium were the foot races, Wrestling matches, and boxing competitions. Horse races and chariot races were held at the Olympic race course, just beyond the stadium. On the last day the awards were given.
