The Learn: Let’s imagine that you were alive 2792 years ago and invited to compete in the first ever ancient Olympic Games. Which of these events: running, wrestling, boxing, pankration, horse racing and pentathlon would you compete in? Click on the name of the sport and it will take you to a site that tells you about the sport. On your blog tell us which sport you would choose and why you chose it.

My Answer:

I would choose running because their are 3 different distances of running, short distance,middle distance and long distance. I would participate in the middle distance race because it is not to long and not to short. If you are participating in the long distance race you would have to pace yourself and ensure you are not making it harder for yourself and if you were to participate in the short distance you would have to run exceptionally fast which can be really hard to maintain for 100 meters or so. So my comment on the middle distance race is that it gives you heaps of momentum to pace yourself and maintain your speed for 90 percent of the race then dominate for the short remainder of the race.
