(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

Javelin¹ Throwing: A leather strap² was fixed³ to the shaft⁴ of the javelin to form a loop. When throwing, the athlete inserted his index and second fingers into the loop, which allowed him to increase the distance the javelin travelled.

Wrestling: The opponents fought standing⁵ up, with bare hands. There were different types of hold. The person who first touched the ground three times was the loser.

Boxing: The fighters' hands were protected by long leather thongs⁶. These ancestors of boxing gloves underwent numerous modifications⁷ over time. Pieces of metal were added on the knuckles⁸, making the punches much more violent.
