Is there important facts about the ancient Olympics?

Answer 1

Women were not allowed to compete.

Married women were not allowed to watch because the men would be nude and the women would be held in disgrace.

Only free men (not slaves), that could speak Greek were allowed to compete. Once you enter you cannot leave the Olympics.

No one can start earlier and other competitors; if they do they would get beaten or disqualified.

In general if people disobeyed the Olympic rules then they would have to pay a fine and the money would help build statues of Zeus or they'd get whipped.

If married women were found watching the Olympics, they would be thrown off Mountain Typaion, Wrestlers were not allowed to use oil because it would protect their skin from dirt and sun light. For example, if someone grabbed an opponent's arm with oil on it, it would be hard for the wrestler to hold on, therefore it is an advantage to the opponent and harder for the wrestler to grab on.
