Đáp án D

Trong bài, ta có thể thấy: The Greeks emphasized physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discuss and javelin throwing, boxing, and horse and chariot racing were held individual cities

Dịch: Người Hy Lạp nhấn mạnh thể chất và sức mạnh trong giáo dục của họ cho tuổi trẻ. Do đó, các cuộc thi chạy, nhảy, ném dĩa và ném lao, đấm bốc, và đua ngựa và đua xe đã được tổ chức ở từng thành phố riêng

=> Người Hy Lạp cổ “They were very athletic.”. Rất có tinh thần thể thao.
