Summary

Every 4 years the Olympics draws the very best elite athletes from around the world to it’s host city. The games attract many other elites as well. From its origins in ancient Greece, to it’s modern revival in 1896, the Olympics has long been closely associated with royalty. There have even been a handful of Princes, Princesses and Kings who’ve made their way onto the field of competition as Olympic athletes. A few have even won gold, silver or bronze medals to go with their golden crowns. From a Spartan Princess who became the first female Olympic champion at a race she wasn’t allowed to watch; to games designed for Emperor Nero to win. And from a Gold-winning Greek sailor to silver-clenching British equestrians, and a bronze decorated handball player who won the heart of a princess. Plus two Princes who started their own winter sports teams so they could chase Olympic glory. Let’s meet the royals who have practices and purchased their way into Olympic history!
