There was only one event! The stadion (or "stade") race, a short sprint measuring between 180 and 240 metres, or the length of the stadium. Time wasn't important, only who won. Other events were added later: The diaulos, or 2-stade race, was introduced in 724 BC, during the 14th Olympic games; a third foot race, the dolichos, was introduced in 720 BC. The last running event added to the Olympic program was the hoplitodromos, or "Hoplite race," introduced in 520 BC and traditionally run as the last race of the day. The runners would run either a single or double diaulos (approximately 400 or 800 yards) in full or partial armour, carrying a shield and additionally equipped either with greaves or a helmet. Over the years, more events were added: boxing (pygme/pygmachia), wrestling (pale), pankration (regulated full-contact fighting, similar to today's mixed martial arts), chariot racing, several other running events (the diaulos, hippios, dolichos, and hoplitodromos), as well as a pentathlon, consisting of wrestling, stadion, long jump, javelin throw and discus throw (the latter three were not separate events). The winner of the first Olympics is unknown, but some of the later ones are: from Athens: Aurelios Zopyros (Junior fist-fight) from Sparta: Acanthus of Sparta (Running: diaulos) Chionis of Sparta (Running: stadium, diaulos. Long and Triple Jump) Cynisca of Sparta (first woman to be listed as an Olympic victor) from Rhodes: Diagoras of Rhodes (Boxing 79th Olympiad, 464 BC) and his sons Akusilaos and Damagetos (Boxing and Pankration) Leonidas of Rhodes (Running: stadium, diaulos and hoplitodromos) from Croton: Astylos of Croton (Running: stadium, diaulos and hoplitodromos) Milo of Croton (wrestling) Timasitheos of Croton (wrestling) from other cities: Koroibos of Elis (Stadion) Orsippus of Megara (Runner: diaulos) Theagenes of Thasos (Pankration) non-Greek: Tiberius (steerer of a four-horse chariot Nero (steerer of a ten-horse chariot) Varastades, Prince and future King of Armenia, (last known Ancient Olympic victor (boxing) during the 291st Olympic Games in the fourth century. Women were not allowed in the Olympics. The only way they took part was to enter their horses in the later equestrian events. Unmarried women were allowed to watch in later times, and the priestesses were there for the ceremonies.
