Nowadays, one of the Olympic sports is the long jump. In ancient Greece, the long jump was also always included in the competition program, but the jumpers held massive metal weights in their hands, so they could fly a greater distance by inertia due to the greater mass.
In total, the ancient Olympic Games were held 293 times. More precisely, 292 and a half, since the decree banning them was issued when the 293rd Games had just begun.
