The oldest sporting event in the world is believed to be the Olympic Games, which originated in ancient Greece around 776 BC. Over time, the Olympic Games have evolved from a small-scale event featuring only a few sports to a global phenomenon with a wide range of sports and participants from around the world. The modern Olympics also include both summer and winter editions, with athletes competing for medals and national pride.
Tennis and triathlon are summer Olympic events. Track cycling is an Olympic event.
Wrestling was an event at the first Olympic games. It can be argued that wrestling is the oldest sport known to mankind.
Oscar Swahn at 72 years, nine months from Sweden is the oldest person to participate in the Olympic games. His event was shooting.
The only event at the very first (classical) Olympic games was the Stadion foot race. A Stadion was about 200m, and women were not allowed to compete, so it would be fair to say that the Men's 200m is the oldest ongoing Olympic event, and therefore Athletics the oldest ongoing Olympic Sport.

An athlete is a person--a sports competitor or someone who practices athletics. I think you mean an event. The Olympic event that's named after a battle is the marathon.
