| In 393 ce Roman emperor Theodosius I banned the Olympic Games, spelling the end of pankration as a popular sport. |
| At the time, there were only individual events, including foot races, long jump, shot put, javelin, boxing, pankration and horse riding. |
| These Games featured mainly athletic but also combat sports such as wrestling and the pankration, horse and chariot racing events. |
| The head not being a target and the additional protection brought by the uniform make pankration an ideal omni-directional martial art for all. |
| Pankration was introduced to the programme of the SportAccord World Combat Games in 2010 with 3 male categories. |
| The Ukrainian team showed its superiority by placing first in grappling, pankration, and combat grappling while the second place went to the Russian team. |
