While the Ancient Greeks celebrated victory with a feast and ceremony, the athletes were presented with a palm branch and red ribbons were placed on their heads. The official ceremony took place on the last day at the Temple of Zeus on Mount Olympus. The winner brought honor to his family name and village and received an olive wreath crown.
Modern athletes today are also honored at a ceremony, but they receive a gold medal and stand on a podium under their National Flag.
