The stadion of Olympia in its present form.  The stadion was built ouside the sanctuary.  The spectators (no women) sat on the sloping embankments.  It was built in the mid 4th centuary B.C.  The length is about 210 yards.

The Krypte was the official entrance to the stadion.  It was used both by the judges and the athletes.  Rosemary and Selina can be seen walking through the entrance.
