How many disciplines were in the ancient olympic games?

The ancient Olympic Games, which began in 776 BC, featured a total of 13 disciplines over time. Initially, the games included just one event, the stadion race, but they gradually expanded to include events such as Wrestling, boxing, pankration, and various foot races. Other disciplines included the pentathlon, which combined five events: stadion, wrestling, long jump, discus throw, and javelin throw. The number of events could vary slightly, but these core competitions were central to the Games.
