Olympics. The games were boxing, Weightlifting and the pentathalon. The pentathalon consisted of discus, long jump, running, wrestling and javelin and chariot racing.

Additionally there was a sort of mixed Martial Arts event, pankration (from: pas, all; kratos, power; παγκράτιον), in which the winner was the person who got their opponent closest to death without killing him. Interestingly enough, the technique was used by Spartans on the battlefield, and so they were precluded from competing against non-Spartans in such an event.
