The story

Story · Stadium

  • nl

You're standing in the stadium at Olympia, in Greece. It lies just east of the sanctuary of Zeus, and many of the events of the ancient Olympic Games took place right here. Have a look around. No concrete stands, no screens, just a long open track. And yet this is one of the most famous sporting venues on earth.
