Biography

The stadion race in 396 BCE was so close that the umpires were split two-to-one over the identity of the victor. The Olympic Council fined the judges who felt that the declared runner-up (Leon of Ambracia) had actually won. Eupolemos also won the pentathlon title three times at Olympia (unknown dates), twice at Pythia, and once at Nemea.
