A
Chariot racing
💡 Explanation:
In ancient Olympic Games, women were barred from competing but could win prizes as owners of chariot teams. The actual charioteers were often professionals or slaves, but the owner received the victory wreath. Cynisca, a Spartan princess, became the first woman to win the Olympic chariot race in 396 BC.
