It took place on the Panathenaic Stadium, originally built in 330 BC. and restored for the 1896 Games. 280 athletes, all men, from 13 nations took part in the sports competitions. He competed in 43 events in the following disciplines: athletics, swimming, gymnastics, cycling, wrestling, weightlifting, fencing, shooting and tennis. Some of the participants were tourists who happened to be in Athens during the Games, at that time the Olympic Committee gave everyone the right to enter competitions. The most important competition was the marathon, which took place on the same route that Philipides had covered in 490 a.d. to announce victory over the Persians.
