Inusuale trasferta all’estero della metà maschile del villaggio gallico. Storia semplice ma ricca di spunti umoristici non pretestuosi e ben inseriti nella trama (notevole la rivolta degli atleti greci che, dopo aver assistito agli eccessi alcolici e alimentari degli avversari romani, vogliono “decadere” anche loro e invocano cibarie pregiate).
Asterix at the Olympic Games – was use of the magic potion at the original games the first instance of doping?
This was the first Asterix adventure that I read and it is still my favorite. Fun times, reading this comics while we lived in Germany. Many of the other Asterix books are good too but only read the ones written before Goscinny died.
Jusqu'à présent, c'est un des Astérix que j'ai le moins aimé. Il est beaucoup moins comiques que les précédents. Même la scène avec les pirates ne m'a pas fait vraiment rire. Le scénario de cette BD est un peu trop prévisible à mon goût. Au moins, les dessins sont jolis.
Though Asterix won by default, he showed his good heart by giving the golden palms to Gluteus Maximus, since the latter had needed it more than him. Good story!
I loved the part in Asterix at the Olympic Games where he stuck his tongue at the other athletes, and they stuck their tongues out and they were blue!
...Asterix, Obelix and the other Gauls decide to enter the Olympic games but realise that they've got alot of competition from the Greeks and Romans...
This, sadly, was nothing compared to the original comic. But I was looking for an illustration and this was the only Asterix on the shelves in the library.

Gaul, as territory of the Roman Empire, happens to qualify for the Olympic Games.
Love asterix, and this just proves what a champion he is
It's an Asterix book and he goes to the Olympic Games. Duh.
Good but not among the best in the series
Buku inilah awal mula aku berkenalan dengan Asterix Prajurit Galia. Keuletan dan keharmonisan sebuah kehidupan di desa yang kecil ditengah kepungan benteng-benteng Romawi. Di sesi Olimpiade, Asterix menampilkan bahwa kejujuran adalah segalanya. Mencapai suatu tujuan tidak mesti menghalalkan segala cara. Meski Asterix sering meminum jamu kuat, tapi dalam lomba atletik dirinya memilih tidak menggunakan. Berbeda dengan sikap Romawi yang menanggung beban nama besar kerajaan adikuasa harus meraih kem...more
One of the best in the series.

I love Asterix. I think it´s one of the best comics ever!
Un épisode massacré par le cinéma... et qui mérite pourtant mieux.
Riche idée d'envoyer nos Gaulois à Olympie pour y participer aux jeux. Les auteurs en profitent pour traiter du dopage qui, déjà à l'époque, polluait le sport... Heureusement que tout cela a bien changé hein ? ^^

his series was originally written in French. My brother (who spent some time there) brought back the English translations when I was young and even though I didn't really understand all of the humor, I loved them.
bought it as a second hand book for 2,50 euros in spandau Berlin. just courious because, i have the original France Version comics and don't understand it, noe have to find the german language coz i know this language.
Gallic team at the Olympics shows its great form beating Romans and Greeks. Great and funny.
