banzai:
but the Olympics 2004 is in Athens and not in Olympia so the detour doesn't have to be in Olympia.

The site of the original Olympic Games in 776BC was at Ancient Olympia about a five and a half bus or car trip from Athens. The games were forbidden and cancelled in AD393 by Emperor Theodosius I since the Christians considered them to be a pagan ritual!
The modern Olympic games were revived by Baron Pierre de Coubertin in Athens in 1896. This was the site used again for some events in 2004.
