The first event of the Ancient Olympics was the stade race, a foot race of approximately 192 meters run at the first Ancient Games in 776 BC. The first event of the Modern Olympics was a heat in the 100 meter dash run on April 6, 1896.

∙ 14y agoThe 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 length of the race is uncertain, since tracks found at archeological sites, as well as literary evidence, provide conflicting measurements. Runners had to pass five stakes that divided the lanes: one stake at the start, another at the finish, and three stakes in-between.
