History
During the 2004 Summer Olympics, it hosted the shot put events.[1][2]
Features
The physical landmarks of the stadium are 212.54 m (697.3 ft) long and 30–34 m (98–112 ft) wide, and it served mainly for running races that determined the fastest person in the world. The track was made of hard-packed clay to serve as traction for the contestants in the running events.[3] As in current day athletics, a white block was placed on one end of the track where the athletes would line up to place their feet and got ready to start of the race.[4] The white block was used to align all the athletes so they would all run the same distance.[3]

Стадион в Олимпии (греч. Στάδιο αρχαίας Ολυμπίας, англ. Stadium at Olympia) — древнегреческий стадион в Олимпии (Греция), остатки которого находятся на археологическом участке Олимпии и расположены к востоку от храма Зевса, за пределами святилища Алтиса. Именно здесь проходили многие спортивные соревнования Античных Олимпийских игр, а также женские Герейские игры.
