2012: Ancient and Modern 2012 is a great year for athletics. And for the history of
athletics. The whole concept of peaceful international competition through
sport has its origin in the ancient world. To celebrate the return of the
games to London after 64 years we are offering a rich programme of events
devoted to sport and competition, ancient and modern. Through exhibitions,
public lectures, conferences our programme looks not just at events and
sites but at the idea of competition, the pursuit of excellence, motivation,
rewards and prizes; we look at the way the ancient games have travelled
across space and time, from a small site in ancient Greece to worlds then
undreamt of. We look at the rebirths and revivals, at the different shapes
the original idea has taken in different periods and cultures down to today. Olympics
