Cultural Insight: Olympic Roots

Sports hold a special place in Greek culture, with the ancient Olympics being a major influence. Many modern sports terms in Greek are derived from this tradition. For example, the word for ‘athlete’ is αθλητής (athlitis), coming from the Greek word άθλος (athlos) meaning ‘contest’ or ‘trial’.
