Where were the olympics held before greece previously?
Answers:
What Scandinavian city hosted the first Olympics to use electric timing devices?
Greece - Olympia - is where it all originated from - around 776 BC I think, originally only open to the Greeks but later to the Romans too.So short answer is "no where before Greece".
In more recent times, it was revived by holding once again in Greece in 1896.
Initially women were not only forbidden to participate or view the games - but if one managed to sneek in and was caught - they popped her over the edge of a cliff.
