Competition, controversy, rivalry, heroics: the ancientOlympics had them all, not to mention their fair share of political intrigue and the occasional flagrant act of cheating.
Athletes are a superstitious bunch, but consulting a fortune teller might seem a little bit too "ancient Olympics" for many of today's athletes, who put more faith in hi-tech equipment and specialized training regimes.
Put together with artefacts from the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, it is a four-part historical tour of the ancientOlympics and their modern rebirth in the late 1800s, including a hall of past torches and a gallery of 16 extraordinary modern athletes profiled along with examples of medals from each modern Games.
