In 2007 I went on a holiday with my family in Greece. We visited the stadium of Olympia, and had a race with people from the group. I won! Now when I was checking the pictures of the vacation again, I found out that the stadium has been used for the shot put events in the 2004 Olympiad of Athens (wikipedia). The old stadium is now also a modern olympic venue!
