Events in The Ancient Olympic Games:

It is said that during the first Olympics, the only event was a 600 ft. race (Benagh, n.d.).  Over the years the Olympics evolved to include many more sports, but it took a long time for them to get to where they are today. 

For many years the Olympics only included individual sports. Some of these sports were running, wrestling, boxing, and equestrian (“Factsheet…”, 2017).
