In this study, it is aimed to make current comments about some sports organizations held in Ancient Greece. A literature review was conducted. The ancient Greeks invented some sports and improved others. Today, the origin of the modern Olympics is connected to the sports games organized in ancient Greece. These games are famous as the Olympic games, the panhellenic games, the Hera games in which only women participate, the Pythian, Isthmian, Nemean and Asclepia Games. It is also known as the birthplace of marathon sport. It is known that the Olympic Games started with athletics in 776 BC to honor Zeus, the king of the gods. Later, other sports were added. Sportive games, which started in ancient Greece in honor of the Gods and were celebrated with festivals, continued at certain intervals (Olympics every 4 years). Although wreaths of olive branches were given as awards in the beginning, the awards have changed over time. An interesting situation in the ancient Greek period is that there were sports games exclusively for women.
