German archaeologists using radar technology say they have discovered the ancient chariot track at Olympia where the Emperor Nero of Rome bribed his way to Olympic laurels.

The location of the track is one of the last mysteries of Olympia, where the ancient Greeks founded the Olympics in the eighth century B.C. Nero, who loved Greek culture, bribed Olympic officials to have the games postponed for two years to coincide with his tour of Greece in A.D. 67. He participated in a chariot race and was declared the winner, despite falling off his chariot.
