  1. The first Olympic games were held in 776BC - and then every 4 years until 339BC. The first Olympic race was won by Corubus, a chef. For many years the Olympics consisted of only one race, a sprint of 192 metres (210 yards, the length of the stadium) called the "stadion." A second race of 400 metres was added 50 years later

    However, I also found this latest information, so take your pick:

    Part of the oblong track's distinctive outline was documented some seven feet (two meters) beneath fields and olive groves and extended almost 656 feet (200 meters) in length.

    The ancient circuit, where Olympic competitors raced in chariots or on horseback, was found in May 2008 by a team including Norbert Müller of Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany.

    Müller, a sports historian, declared the find "an archaeological sensation."
