The Olympic Games in ancient Greece featured a limited number of sports, primarily focusing on Track and Field events, Wrestling, boxing, and pankration. Unlike the modern Olympics, which include sports such as Basketball, swimming, gymnastics, and team sports, ancient Greek competitions were predominantly individual and did not involve team-based events. Additionally, modern Olympics embrace a wider range of disciplines, including winter sports, which were not part of the ancient tradition. The inclusion of women’s events and the global participation of athletes also distinguished the modern Games from their ancient predecessors.
