Editors, see User:Jared/2004 events for a list of events at these games, with links to all of the pages.

-->The sports featured at the 2004 Summer Olympics are listed below. Officially there were 301 events in 28 sports as swimming, diving, synchronised swimming and water polo are classified by the IOC as disciplines within the sport of [[Aquatic sports|aquatics]], and [[wheelchair racing]] was a demonstration sport. For the first time, the wrestling category featured women's wrestling and in the fencing competition women competed in the [[Fencing (sport)#Sabre|sabre]]. American [[Kristin Heaston]], who led off the qualifying round of women's shot put became the first woman to compete at the ancient site of Olympia.

The demonstration sport of wheelchair racing was a joint Olympic/[[Paralympic Games|Paralympic]] event, allowing a Paralympic event to occur within the Olympics, and for the future, opening up the wheelchair race to the able-bodied. The [[2004 Summer Paralympics]] were also held in Athens, from 17 to 28 September.
