Today in class we started by talking about the windstorm. Who had power and Who didn't, Mr Schick also showed us his disaster at his house and what he had to do to fix it. For the rest of the time we worked on the rest of the powerpoint and we found out that that we have to site our words. So we did that and we also worked on this slide...
- All athletes competed without any attire.
- Wrestlers and pankration (a sort of mixed martial art which combined boxing and wrestling) competitors fought covered in oil
- Corporal punishment awaited those guilty of a false start on the track
- There were only two rules in the pankration no biting and no gouging
- Boxers were urged to avoid attacking the on display male genitals
- There were no points, no time limits and no weight classifications in the boxing
- Athletes in the combat sports had to indicate their surrender by raising their index fingers – at times they died before they could do this
- Boxers who could not be separated could opt for klimax, a system whereby one fighter was granted a free hit and then vice-versa – a toss of a coin decided who went first
