My next question was is the differnce between the main sports in Greece and the main sports in South Car
olina? In anceint Greece, the Olympic games took place every four years. They were an important part of the religious life of the Greeks. The olympics were held at the Olympia stadium and was inagurated with a sacrafice to Zeus, and ancient Greek god. The six major sports that were played during that period were running, pancration, jumping. dispatch race, discus casting and javelin casting. Some famous sports that Greeks play today are tennis, golf soccer, ice hockey and various water sports.

In the USA the most popular sports are soccer, baseball, football, basketball , and golf. There are no other major events such as the olympics here so as you can tell Greece is bigger on sports than the U.S is.
