Olympia stadium audiences saw sport - and sometimes bloodshed
The Olympic Games truly return to their spiritual home on Wednesday, when the shot-put competition takes place in the ancient stadium at Olympia.
Legend has it that the first Olympics - a single 192-metre race - were held at the sanctuary of Zeus in Olympia in 776BC. The competitors were Greek heroes and Gods.
Today, athletes and spectators alike will walk in their footsteps in a spectacle Greece says will be a "symbolic link" to the ancient Games and the revival of the modern Olympics in 1896.
To preserve the historical integrity, no banners of corporate logos will be displayed during the competition and electronic devices will be kept to a minimum.
Men and women will gather to watch - unlike at the early Games, where the spectators were exclusively men.

奧林匹亞競技場是觀眾用來觀賞運動,或可能是血腥比賽的地方
星期三,當鉛球比賽在原址舉行時,本次奧運會將正式重回光榮原貌.
傳說中第一次的奧運會於西元前776年在宙斯的聖殿裡舉行時,僅有192公尺短跑.
當時的參賽者不是希臘英雄就是神祇.而今天無論選手或觀眾都可以親自在這1896年重生的奧林匹克見證這希臘人口中的"與古奧運會充滿意義的連接"
為了保存歷史的完整,比賽期間禁止張貼贊助廠商標誌,而電子儀器也將被限制在最少數量.
與古代不同的是,今天不論男女都可以觀賞比賽.而當時只有男人是被允許進場觀賞的

古代奧林匹克運動會的場地舉行。該場地位於雅典西南320公里。
運動員前往場館需要經過公元前600年的赫拉神廟和宙斯祭壇。奧運聖火就是在宙斯祭壇點燃的。
運動場的歷史可以追溯到公元前四世紀。
為了保持歷史遺跡，籌辦者需要保證地面上不能有可見的痕跡。就是說，觀眾人數限制在15,000之內，觀眾席安置在斜坡的草坪上，不能有大看台等臨時建築。
另外，賽事要在日間舉行，以免需要電子版和人工光源等設施。
