∙ 11y agoThe Stade was the first organized athletic event ever held. It first occurred in 776 BC and was a race of 192 meters in length. I believe that I read somewhere that the competitors started with one foot in a groove and ran across the length of the stadium floor and around a stake (hence the name Stade) and then back across the original starting line to finish. The winner was adorned with a wreath and given hero status for the calendar year and any men who false started were considered cheaters and forced to pay for a bronze statue of Zeus.
