Did you know the Olympics once gave out medals for art? From 1912 to 1948, the Olympic Games included competitions in painting, sculpture, music, literature, and architecture.

Real Olympic medals were awarded—just like in athletics. Even the founder of the modern Olympics, Pierre de Coubertin, secretly won a gold medal for literature!

Should the Olympics bring back art competitions?
