โ 9y agoThey are completely different. In the ancient Olympics only men competed and did so in the nude. Events that are common to the two are only running, boxing and (greco-roman) wresting. The Greeks also had a form of pentathlon which consisted of long jump, javelin throwing, discus throwing, running and Wrestling.

They didn't. The modern Olympics was restarted in the late 1800's and not directly linked to the ancient Olympics at all.
Most of the events from the Modern Olympics originally came from the Ancient Olympics but many more events have been added to the Modern Olympics...
The same as they had in the ancient olympics
