Рассказ на тему "Олимпийские игры в Древней Греции".Олимпийские игры стали проводиться в Древней Греции в 8 веке до нашей эры. Это было необычайное зрелище для зрителей тех времен. Атлеты, так называли участников состязаний, соревновались в силе, ловкости, точности и выносливости. Особенно зрелищными были состязания на колесницах, которые нередко заканчивались падениями. Среди наиболее популярных состязаний было также пятиборье, где атлеты могли показать свои умения в метании диска и копья, беге, прыжках и борьбе. Участником игр мог стать только полноправный гражданин, который в случае победы обретал славу и уважение.
