Synchronized swimming, Baseball, Cycling, Karate, Table Tennis. There are a whole lot more sports that were never part of the original Olympics of ancient times which had the following events: Boxing, Chariot riding, riding, Discus, Javelin, Jump, Running, Wrestling.
No, there's no records or listings of the ancient Rome Olympics because ancient Rome never had the ancient Olympics. The Olympic games were Greek events. The emperor Nero tried to establish Olympic type games called the Neronia, but they soon fizzled out.
The Romans never held the Olympics; the Olympics were an Ancient Greek game.
suck it!!
No. The ancient Olympics took place in Greece. Jesus lived in Israel and never visited there.
The difference between modern and ancient olympics is the technology that was used. Ancient olympics used olden day technology or none at all. No high quality equipment was available and each athlete did not have spikes, skins, leotards, and fancy goggles. In contrast, modern day olympians have all this which effects their performance in the pool, track, field or stadium. Also, modern olympics have cameras and technology that enables the whole world to watch and cheer their country on. Hope this helps xo

In my opinion the modern Olympic Games are fairer, however some ways that the Ancient could be considered fairer than the Modern Olympics are:The very minute use of banned substances compared with today (i.e performance or bodily function enhancing drugs).Banned substances and methods were practically unheard of, therefor promoting professionalism over amateurism. This keeps the competition at a fairer and higher standard.They were always held in the same location, Olympia Greece. An example of how this can impact is Bob Beamon, who shattered the long jump record when at the 1968 Mexico Olympics. Due to the high altitude and thinner air, Beamon would have not jumped as far in a city closer to sea level.But the Modern Olympics is probably fairer though:Technology is being increasingly use to determine the exact distance or height the particular athlete jumped/the speed which they ran etc. Close races in ancient times would have purely been decided through adjudication.(Something for the ladies!) Women were not allowed to compete in the ancient games.Even worse still, women were not even allowed to Watch the ancient olympic games!More countries can be involved, and since the ancient Olympics were held only in Athens, this means that only European countries could even think of participating. It was mainly only Greek Athletes.The Ancient Olympics had only one "winner" for all events, whilst today gold medals in a variety of events represent multiple "winners"They never had an Ancient Winter Olympics in Olympia, because the Mediterranean sea and the area around it is warm for almost all of the year.acheck out the related link below

No. Kiwi have never been in Egypt, either ancient or modern.
Men were allowed to enter the Olympics but, young boys were also allowed, this was not determined by age but if the boy was bearded or not so their was no cheating. Women were also allowed in the case that they owned a horse that was being used; as long as it was a man. Other than that it was strictly boys and men. -Seamus There were no ancient Roman Olympics, there were the Gladiatorial sports and funeral games but no Olympics. The ancient Greeks held the Olympics which was called the Olympiad. Next time please check your facts before you spout random nonsense.
As far as I know, the modern Olympics have never been abolished. There have been times when teams or countries boycotted, but the Olympics still continues on, year after year, as they have since 1896. But perhaps you are referring to ancient times: during the Roman Empire, Emperor Theodosius I (who was a Christian) decided the Olympics were too pagan, and he ordered them to be banned. That occurred in the year 393, and the ban lasted for more than 1500 years.
