参考答案

正确答案：A
解析：在event一部分提到“Wrestling, discus throwing and the javelin were all recorded in the Homeric poems and were seen as vital for all men to be skilled in.”摔跤、掷铁饼和标枪在荷马的诗中有所记载，而且被看做是所有男人都该熟练掌握的。此外，又提到“Boxing was one of the oldest events and was written about by Homer.”拳击是最古老的赛事之一，并被荷马记载。由此，我们可以推断出在荷马所处的时代，摔跤、掷铁饼、标枪和拳击都已被纳入奥运赛事。
