Let's Talk

In honor of the 2012 Olympic games, I thought I would share this fun fact that I learned today:

In 776 B.C.E. the first Olympic champion listed in the records was a cook.   According to http://www.thenibble.com/fun/more/facts/history.asp his name was Coroebus of Elis and he won the sprint race.
