Thousands of years ago in the country Greece was the first ever Olympic Games held in an ancient city called Olympia.There were amazing events like running, wrestling, boxing, pankration, horse racing and pentathlon.
If I took part in the Olympics, I would choose the running event. I would have to do three running events called The Stade,The Diaulos and finally The Dolichos. These three running stages have different difficulty levels. The Stade is a sprinting race. The athletes would run from one side of the stadium to the other. The Diaulos is a middle distance run. For those of you who don't know what middle distance run means, it means it's longer than a sprint race so it can go from 800 metres to the mile run which is 3000 metres. Last but not least The Dolichos race.If you thought that The Diaulos was the hardest one think again.The Dolichos race is an endurance race.The athletes have to run approximately which means almost 20 lengths of the stadium, what a work out. If the athletes can run 20 lengths, I can too if I train hard. The only reason I want to do the running event is because it would help me become fit.
