They both have sporting events even though they have different ones, also they give out medals to the winners. Female athletes did not compete during the 1896 games. The olympic motto was still faster, higher, stronger although in latin which it was originally said in was citius, altius, forties.

The main similarity was that those Olympics were geld in Athens , every four years. And the difference is that in the old Olympics females were not allowed to take part. While in the modern Olympics there are events for both men and ladies.

The ancient Olympics were always held in Olympia, Greek. It wasn't just a sport festival, but a religious festival. Greek people held it every four years as an honour to the Greek God Zeus, and kill 100 oxen

Well, for one Women are allowed to play and win.

There are a lot more events that before,

And the Olympics is no longer played to honor the Gods, but only to unify the nations.
