The ancient Olympics - Abbie

Javelin Back then the javelin was made of wood! They were probably much heavier than the javelins of today which are made of lightweight metal.

Jumping  Back then the jumper carried a weight in each hand and as he jumped he would let the weights go! This made the jumpers go further. 

Equestrian The races were 3,8 or 12 laps depending on the age of the horse!

Running  The running races were very popular!  This could be because many people competed.

Wrestling   This sport was similar to what it is today
