It is the year, when the first (recorded) Olympic Games were held in Olympia, Greece. It was 776 years earlier than Jesus Christ was born. BC means before Christ. It means that the first Olimpics were held 776+2012= 2788 years ago.
The ancient contests that included discus, javelin, long jump, and wrestling were the games celebrating periodic religious festivals. These sports were included in the religious games - there were several such games - eg the Isthmian Games, the Pythian Games, the Olympic Games.
The ancient Greeks were the founders of the Olympic games. The games were originally sacred games honoring Zeus. They were also played in the nude. These games are most famous for the discus toss and foot races. You could only be a Greek to enter and women weren't allowed to participate.
The ancient Greek Olympic sports were mostly throwing events like javlin. They also had running and long jump and high jump.

I inherited a Guiness Book of Records book from 1984 which had in it where the olympic games were held from 1896 - 1988 and how long they went for.This book claims that the third olympic games were held at St. Louis in 1904 from the 1st July until the 23rd November!
