 Ancient Olympics
Olympic Games were held throughout Ancient Greece, but the most famous are the games that were held in Olympia in honor of Zeus every four years from August 6th to September 19th.
The first record of these games is of one Coroebus of Elis, a cook, winning a sprint race in 776 BC.
In the year Coroebus was made a part of history, there was apparently only one simple event, a race called the stade.

 Goff Morgan - Adventures In Hack Poetry: Ex Pede Coroebum
At this Olympic Games, a naked runner, Coroebus (a cook from Elis), won the sole event at the Olympics, the stade - a run of approximately 192 meters (210 yards).
The stadion at Olympia is supposed to be 600 times the length of the foot of Herakles, which means that the great hero of the twelve tasks took a size twelve sandal.
But, if you put Coroebus into Google, all you get is those two facts - a cook, from Elis.

Behold the royal prophetess, the fair Cassandra, dragg'd by her dishevel'd hair, Whom not Minerva's shrine, nor sacred bands, In safety could protect from sacrilegious hands: On heav'n she cast her eyes, she sigh'd, she cried- 'T was all she could- her tender arms were tied.
So sad a sight Coroebus could not bear; But, fir'd with rage, distracted with despair, Amid the barb'rous ravishers he flew: Our leader's rash example we pursue.

Yes, it's time for the Olympics again, and I just wish a guy named Coroebus could be there to see the show.
According to countless published reports, he won the first recorded event in ancient Olympic history -- a 210-yard race called "the stade," named after the stadium in which it was held.
Still, I'd be just as interested in seeing how Coroebus would be greeted at this year's Olympics if he ran a race in the same outfit he wore 2,780 years ago.

Not only was Heppner's vocal estate generally excellent, but he also portrayed his heroic, destiny-driven role to near-perfection and made a believably tender lover.
As Dido's sister Anna, Elena Zaremba proffered a true contralto with a noticeable vibrato and occasionally muddy tone; her acting was fine, although the character seemed a little oddly conceived, skipping round as a sort of post-coital kitten by proxy.
Dwayne Croft was a resonant and charismatic Coroebus at the premiere; Richard Zeller (filling in for an ailing Croft at the second performance) was good in the quiet moments with Cassandra but lacked Croft's ringing tones elsewhere.

The descendants of Coroebus will, of course, be running over 100m or 200m in Sydney, and while the 200m runners reach a higher average speed the blue riband event for sprinters remains the shorter distance.
Nobody knows how quickly Coroebus covered the 193m of the 'stadion' but as he was probably dressed in armour and running on dirt it is unlikely that his time would trouble today's sprint heroes Maurice Greene and Marion Jones.
We do know, however, that US athlete Thomas Burke won the first 100m of the modern era, at Athens in 1896, in the leisurely time of 12 seconds.
