Here’s some interesting Info: at the first Olympics the only event was
the Stadion race. It was named after the building the race was in. That's
where our English word Stadium came from. We get our word gymnasium from
the Greek word gymnos meaning naked. Competing in the Olympics naked was
a tribute to the gods.
