In Ancient Greece, athletics were an integral part of Hellenic life and culture, through which values such as excellence, self-improvement, fair competition, and honor were expressed.

The Olympic Games were held every four years in honor of Zeus, with wars between the city-states halted during the Olympic truce. At the Games, athletes, trained with rigorous preparation and strict discipline both physically and mentally, participated in disciplines such as running, discus throwing, long jump, and wrestling. They competed not only for personal victory but also for the honor of their city-states and the glory of the gods.

For Greek athletes, victory represented not only achieving athletic supremacy but also the realization of values ​​of harmony, balance, and excellence.
