ATHLETICS
1. The first question was asked to throw light on the training process of the Greek Local
Wrestling that was very popular amongst people. For the Greeks, wrestling was a kind
of science that motivated youngsters to explore themselves. The question once again
brought to mind the necessity of considering the art of wrestling. The visual
description of the athletes getting ready with olive oil and sand pores makes the
readers enquire more about the game. It also shows how they were grounded to their
history and followed the old tradition of getting ready for the wrestling match. Since
music was not very common, they rehearsed along with the woodwind that again
showed the groundedness of the wrestlers. The answer to the question shows how the
wrestlers would prepare themselves for the match and how they would protect
themselves from their competitors by keeping their hair abbreviated that shielded
them. The question is quite relevant as it will prepare the athlete for his future
matches.
2. The question was asked as it helped the people to make a clear distinction between
normal day-to-day of life and the life of Greek wrestlers that was full of difficulty but
at the same time full of motivation and lessons. It answers highlights how the earlier
Greeks believed in horticulture and that the wrestling match only took place
occasionally to worship Zeus. Therefore the answer makes a relevance as the game is
connected to the worship of God. Earlier events were held to praise and worship Zeus.
However the wrestler has many interferences in his life from their fans, their diet is
changed from that of ordinary people, they devote most of their time in preparing for
the match, and they also communicate between to games to get their voices heard.
The response to the question was given so that the athlete will come to know about
the life of a wrestler and make up his mind for that kind of life. It also makes a
historical reference to Zeus and thereby shows the importance of wrestling.
