there were held to please the gods especially zeus.
they are held every 4years, however the winter olympics come in Between the 4 years.
first the planned everything carefully then built the stadium etc
only medals are given as prizes, most of the time its just fame
there were lots of events (visit other websites and check)
the fans watched

they were held every 8 years when two stars aligned, l will have to find the exact name*

there were not as many events, a few were wrestling, some different types of running, and some thing based on strength.

countries did not compete at first, just people who wanted to prove to be the best, mostly greek.

and l am not sure but think they played for gold cash and some sort of trophy..
