When my grandparents say they miss the good old days, I'm just going to assume they don't mean Ancient Greece.

Fun fact:
There was actually a woman that managed to get in the Olympics. She went because her husband died and her son needed a trainer for the Olympics. She got inside the stadium with clothes and they didn't recognise that she was a woman. When her son won, she ran to him to give him a hug for his win but while jumping over the fence that separated the trainers from the participants her clothes got ripped.The judges didn't punish her because she was the wife, daughter, mother and sister of champions, men that had won the Olympics several times, but they created a law that all trainers have to be naked like the participants.
