Did you know that the first-ever Olympic Games took place in ancient Greece in 776 BC? Athletes competed for glory, not prizes, and winners were awarded olive wreaths – how's that for incentive? And speaking of glory, the very first woman to compete in the Olympics was Hélène de Pourtalès from Switzerland in 1900. So, buckle up and join Palomo's journey as he navigates through this historic event packed with incredible talent and memorable moments!
