Best Answer

The sports they had in the first Olympics was boating, Chariot Racing horse riding, and running. They also had the discus, the javelin, and Wrestling.

A running race once around the stadium, panktation, chariot racing. panktation is a bloody full-contact fighting similar to mixed Martial Arts.

These events\games were in the Olympics when they first began: * Boxing * Equestrian events ** Chariot racing ** Riding * Pankration * Pentathlon ** Discus ** Javelin ** Jump ** Running ** Wrestling * Running * Wrestling

The Olympic games originally contained one event: the stadion (or "stade") race, a short sprint measuring between 180 and 240 metres, or the length of the stadium. The actual length of the race is unknown, since tracks found at archeological sites, as well as literary evidence, provide conflicting answers. Runners had to pass five stakes that divided the lanes: one stake at the start, another at the finish, and three stakes in-between. Time was not pertinent to winning the stadion: merely passing the finish stake first was enough to earn the victory.
