The first Olympic
event was the stadium race, a course of about 200m (1 stadium)
which was the only event until 724 B.C., when the "diavlos" was
added, a distance run of 400m (2 stadiums.) In these races the
athletes ran naked, a tradition which was established in the
Olympics of 720 B.C. where a runner from Megara, Orsippos, won
by running naked after losing his tunic during the course of the
race. In 720 B.C. another distance run was added, the "dolichos"
which was an endurance race of about 3,5 to 4km. These track
competitors had another addition in 520 B.C., the "oplitis", a
race of 400m wearing full armour.
Other events which
were added at different stages, were wrestling, boxing and the "pagratio"
(a combination of boxing and wrestling), the chariot races, the
horse riding competitions and the pentathlon. The pentathlon
consisted of the javelin throw, the discus, the long-jump,
running and wrestling. The first three took place as part of
the pentathlon whereas the other two were independent
competitions. According to tradition, the pentathlon was
established by Jason in the competitions of the Argonauts in
Limnos, to honour his friend Palea, who took part in the 5
events, winning first place in wrestling and second place in all
the other events. The long jump took place place with the
musical accompaniment of a flute, which helped the athletes to
obtain rhythm while running.
