τὰ δὲ ἐπὶ τοῖς παισὶν ἐς μὲν τῶν παλαιοτέρων οὐδεμίαν ἥκει μνήμην, αὐτοὶ δὲ ἀρέσαν σφίσι κατεστήσαντο Ἠλεῖοι.

The first clause has a neuter substantivized topic τὰ ἐπὶ τοῖς παισίν and an idiomatic ἥκει μνήμην construction; the second clause has an accusative participle ἀρέσαντα with reflexive dative σφίσι and finite κατεστήσαντο, with Ἠλεῖοι as subject. The supplied form ἀρέσαν is likely an orthographic/tokenization variant of ἀρέσαντα; analysis is consequently low confidence.

δρόμου μὲν δὴ καὶ πάλης ἐτέθη παισὶν ἆθλα ἐπὶ τῆς ἑβδόμης καὶ τριακοστῆς Ὀλυμπιάδος, καὶ Ἱπποσθένης Λακεδαιμόνιος πάλην, Πολυνείκης δὲ τὸν δρόμον ἐνίκησεν Ἠλεῖος.

The first clause has coordinated genitives (δρόμου ... πάλης) with ἆθλα as subject and ἐτέθη as passive predicate; the final clause coordinates two named victors, with πάλην and τὸν δρόμον as accusative objects of ἐνίκησεν. The participial/elliptical construction in the victory clause is interpreted as an omitted verb for Ἱπποσθένης, while ἐνίκησεν is finite for Πολυνείκης.
