Olympic report

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Olympics report show! ( applause ) Today I will be reporting Olympic facts about... THE HISTORY OF THE OLYMPICS! (and extra facts) Let's start off with: did you know? Did you know that the first Olympic games were held in 776 BC? The Olympics now is completely different from back then, because actually men were the only people that could compete. Only unmarried women were allowed in the stadium to watch. That is very different from now. Did you know that some women were so keen to watch the competition that they dressed up as men and sneaked into the stadium? At first, the Ancient Olympic games lasted just ONE day, and had just ONE event, which was a running race. That is a big difference compared to now because there is 35 sports, about 400 events and the Olympics now lasts even longer than a day!
