The awards system was changed starting with the 6 th Olympiad of ancient times. A laurel wreath ¹ came to be the official prize at the competitions. In addition, other honours were awaiting the victor. First of all, not only a winner, but his whole town or village was proclaimed champion. Later the victor was presented with valuable gifts and his name was written in the columns standing in Olympia. From 1896 on, the medal ( gold, silver, bronze ) became the only official Olympic award.
