This ancient Greek athletic game comes from the far past to us, since the times of the expeditions of Dionysus, Heracles and Alexander the Great.

Dielkystinda was an Olympic game in the new Olympic games but it weakened little by little and they are thinking of bringing it back.
There are references to this game into the ancient Greek written tradition, in Homer, Theaetetos etc.
The game was played until a few years ago, in schools and playgrounds in many variations, in an upright position, or with one foot forward, half sited, full sited etc.
