1. Aquatics - The Olympic Games had included a variety of unusual events such as underwater swimming (1900), 200m obstacle swimming (1900) and plunge for distance (1904). Prior to the London Olympics, where a 100m pool was used, the ocean (1896), the River Seine (1900), and a little lake in St. Louis, USA (1904), had been used as Olympic sites.
2. Athletics (or track and field) - is about running faster, jumping higher and throwing further than your competitors. The ancient Games at Olympia began simply with foot races, only occasionally complicated by dressing the runners in infantry armour or making them carry soldiers' shields. Today, athletics remains one of the most popular Olympic sports. From the 100m dash to the 42.195km marathon, from the hammer throw to the high jump, it contains many of the Olympic Games' blue-ribbon events and many of the highest-profile competitors.
3. Cycling - Olympic sport since 1896 Cycling at the Olympics features four exciting disciplines: road, track, mountain biking and bmx.
4. Fencing - It was the first to include recognised professionals in a medals competition after modern Olympic Games founder Pierre de Coubertin arranged special events for professional fencing "masters" in the original 1896 and 1900 competitions. The clothing has become so protective, though, that officials modified masks a few years ago to return a "human face" to the event.
5. Gymnastics - Olympic sport since 1896, Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique or FIG, as it is known today comprises three Olympic disciplines: artistic, rhythmic and trampoline.
