In the modern Olympics, that was James Connolly of the United States who won the triple jump on April 6, 1896. History has several myths as to the origin of the Ancient Games. One is that the Greek hero Heracles won a foot race of about 200 meters and then decreed that this race should be run every four years. This turned into being the Olympic Games.
