Pre-Olympics Olympics
This is where I'd like to be this weekend. A great idea!
In Nemea, the US archaeologists didn't just find the running track, but also uncovered the running track, the changing rooms and the tunnel through which athletes passed before competing in front of the large crowds.
The games here like those in ancient Olympia, Delphi and Isthmia were the forerunners of today's Olympics.
The archaeologists then teamed up with the local community to revive what they believe to be the true spirit of the ancient games.
All you need to do is sign up and you can take part. There are no sponsors, no medals and no spectacular ceremonies.
