The first Olympic Games were held in776 BC (or they were the first recorded.) At first there was just one event: running. The games were held every four years. Some later ancient games included a relay race: a torch was passed from one runner to the next. The last runner of the winning team lit a fire on an altar. I think nobody knows exactly when this event started. Later this event was adapted for the modern Olympics.
