Week 6

In the ancient olympics first place would get an olive wreath to wear on their heads and second and third would get nothing.Also in the modern olympics they use to think thatsilver was greater and better than gold until 1904 st.louis replaced silver for gold.Ever since 1928 the front of the olympic medal has always been the same,it represents a Greek goddess, the Olympic Rings, the coliseum of ancient Athens, a Greek vase known as an amphora, a horse-drawn chariot, and the year, number of the Olympiad, and host city.
