play because there was a separate Olympics for them. • Pankration wrestling was one of the games on the 4th day.• The running track was much wider than the modern one.• The Greeks believed that a healthy body was very important .• The Ancient Olympic games were a part of a religious festival in
honour of Zeus, the father of Greek gods and goddesses.+
