None of the so-called pan-Hellenic games (the important games of which the Olympic Games were one) was held in Thebes. No doubt local sports events were regularly held in Thebes with all the sports popular at the time - running, boxing, Wrestling, javelin and discus throwing. But those local events haven't gone down in history.
