Or that combatants actually died in the ring? From its beginnings in Ancient Greece to the present day, the Olympic Games have always been thrilling . . . but they’ve also always been a little peculiar. Discover the fascinating history of this exciting spectacle, complete with statistics, biographies, and records, along with entertainingly quirky stories and weird facts.
