Gymnastics has been a part of the Modern Games since their inception in 1896. History did not record when gymnastics began in the ancient Olympics but it is known that at the first Games in 776 BC there was only one event, that being a foot race of approximately 200 yards. As the Games became more popular, events such as gymnastics, Wrestling, boxing, and Weightlifting were added.
