Similarities And Differences
There are many difference between the Sydney Olympics and The Ancient Olympics but only a few key similarities. Like the major similarity on how both the Olympics are scheduled. The Ancient Olympics were every 4 years like they are today.(BBC) Another similarity is that a majority of the track and field events that were in the ancient Olympics are carried over to today's Olympics such as the 200m and 400m sprint, javelin and discus throwing.(Ancient Olympics) One of the major differences is how nowadays men and women from around the world compete in the Olympics instead of just Greek men. Another first-rate difference is the diversity of sports and events. For example judo, table tennis and swimming were included in the Sydney Olympics, which are extremely diverse from each other.(Sydney 2000 Summer Olympics)
