The Summer Olympic Games will return to Athens in the year 2004. The Greek government has much to do to prepare for the games. Since the games are returning to Greece, they want to make the games more authentic, i.e. return to the origins of the game. Representatives from all participating countries will be sent to Athens with a proposal representing their countries ideas. President Bush selected you! GOAL: Create a proposal which identifies the most important ancient olympic events and include an explanation of how the historical roots of the events will be preserved in the upcoming 2004 Olympics.
