Chariot racing

Kyniska of Sparta won the four-horse race in 396BC and 392BC.

From an early age, the daughter of the king of Sparta wanted to partake in the Games. Despite women not being allowed to compete, custom permitted the owner of a chariot to do so, allowing Kyniska to set the way for female owners. She won 12 Olympic wreaths by the end of the Games.
