Cynisca of Sparta won the Chariot Racing event in the ancient Olympic Games. She became the first woman to win at the Olympics, achieving this feat in 396 and 392 BCE. Her victories were significant not only for her personal achievement but also for challenging the traditional gender roles of her time. Although she did not compete as a driver, her ownership of the winning chariots earned her the prestigious titles associated with Olympic victory.

396 BC Cynisca of Sparta was permitted to enter her horses in the Olympics. Back then it was the owner of the horses not the riders that were awarded with victory in the Olympics. Cynisca won the 4 horse chariot race. In a bit of irony women were not allowed to watch the Olympics and she most likely never even witnessed her win. PCH- 1912
