The nastiest event?

**Exercise 1** Probably the pankration or all-in wrestling was the nastiest event. There were hardly any rules. Biting and poking people's eyes were officially banned, but some competitors did both! While it does not seem very sporting to us, all-in wrestling was very popular. Boxing was tough too. The fighters wore leather gloves and a boxer was allowed to go on hitting his opponent even after he'd knocked him to the ground! However, cheating was punished. Anyone caught cheating, trying to bribe an athlete for instance, had to pay for a bronze statue of Zeus, as a punishment.

**Exercise 2**

poking : meter los dedos (en la nariz, los ojos, etc) fighters: combatientes banned: eliminado

knocked : tirar al suelo (Knoced Out = K.O.) However : sin embargo cheating : hacer trampas

Anyone : cualquiera caught : capturado trying :tratando de bribe : sobornar

Wrestling was the most disgusting event. There were many rules.

Anyone caught cheating had to pay for a bronze statue of Zeus, as punishment.

The boxers didn't wear any gloves.

Exercise 5


 * The ancient Olympic Games were a series of athletic competitions contested by representatives of several independent cities.**


 * The difference in the games now that they had no proper rules for the games, so that competitors sometimes Salian wounded. Also the difference previously only competed in some countries such as Greece, Olympia ... Previously only the male competed because they said that women did not have the physical ability to compete.**
