Far from the European football Championships and the forthcoming Rio Olympics athletes from around the world have been taking part in a very different sporting tournament in southern Greece. They are called the Nemean Games and are a revival of the ancient Greek games which were once staged on a dirt course in a stadium over 2,300 years old.The ancient games were held for 1,000 years, pausing wars and hostilities between rival cities and states not to let anything interfere with the competition – something modern day supporters could learn a lesson from.
