No. The ancient Olympics were a sports festival but also a religious festival celebrated in Greece by Greeks to honor the Greek gods.

The answer depends on which city-state one lived in. For Athens, the democratic citizens held the highest status, but only property owning males of the age of majority, both of whose parents had been born in Athens, were considered citizens. By contrast, Sparta had two kings to share power with the advice of an oligarchy of Elders.

The ancient Greeks did - and the site of the games was in Olympia, Greece. The modern Olympics were started in the 1890s by a French nobleman, and have continued to this day.

According to history, the only event at the first 13 Olympiads was the stade race, a straightaway foot race of approximately 192 meters. There is no mention of a race of exactly 100 meters.

The 400 metres, or 400 metre dash, is a common sprinting event in track and field competitions. It has been featured in the athleticsprogramme at the Summer Olympics since 1896 (1964 for women). On a standard outdoor running track, it is exactly one lap around the track. Runners start in staggered positions and race in separate lanes for the entire course. In many countries, athletes previously competed in the 440 yard dash (402.336 m) - also referred to as the 'quarter-mile' - instead of the 400 m, though this distance is now obsolete. An athlete who competes in the 400 m may still be referred to as 'quarter-miler'.

Women were not allowed in the Olympics because women were seen as less then men in that time. This is because the men thought they were stronger and smarter then the women, which left them to do housework. Which also brings up the point that even if women were allowed in, they would not have any time to practice and train because they would always have to tend to the house.

The ancient Olympics were done naked because the ancient Greeks did not have the same hangups as modern people have. Nudity was much more acceptable and public bathing was common. Also, activities that made people sweat heavily were more practically done naked since clothes weren't as easy to wash in those days.
