Olympia

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World are the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Temple of Artemis, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the Colossus of Rhodes, and the Lighthouse of Alexandria.

Time, floods, earthquakes and war have destroyed much of the past, but on August 18 approximately 60 athletes from around the world will again enter the ancient stadium of Olympia to compete in the Athens 2004 Olympics.

The Olympic flame is lit in Olympia, Greece, and travels to the host city before the Games begin.

Schwarzenegger won the Mr. Olympia title seven times.

The Olympia City Council voted 4-3 Tuesday night against adopting a Workers’ Bill of Rights and raising the minimum wage across the city to $20. Mayor Dontae Payne cast the deciding vote.

The Olympian has posted similar stories on the Port of Olympia, Olympia City Council, and Olympia School Board primaries elsewhere on our website.
