They had running at first. Later running in different distances (the measurement was the stadium, which was 192 metres).

So, running races: one length of the track, 2 lengths, 24 lengths, and race in armour.

Boxing: ended when one of the athletes was knocked out or showed his defeat by lifting his right arm. Wrestling: upright wrestling, groung wrestling, pancration.

Pentathlon: running, wrestling, jumping, discus throwing, and javelin throwing. Chariot races: two horses, four horses (12 laps).

Horse races: about 1,200 metres.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.

There were no cycling, no water sports either.
