The correct answer is True

Step-by-step explanation:

The Olympic Games or Olympics are nowadays sporting events that include around 28 different sports with more than 11,000 athletes from 200 different nations. Also, the Olympics are held every four years and include Summer and Winter games. However, in their origin in Ancient Greece these events were held in Olympia, only a few sports were included such as wrestling, horse racing, running pentathlon, boxing, among others and it included athletes that represented the different city-states of the nation every four years. Therefore, it is true in ancient Grece, the Olympics were composed of fewer events compared to modern games as nowadays many more sports and events are included.
